[PATCH] doc: enhance the global log level documentation

[David Marchand]

The current documentation is non intuitive in that the global log level
can be understood as being a single knob controlling all components
logs.
On the contrary, all the global log level is for is to reduce verbosity
globally.

Remove examples of setting --log-level=8|debug, which is a noop.

 Setting Global Log Level
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-To adjust the global log level for an application,
-just pass a numeric level or a level name to the ``--log-level`` EAL parameter.
+By default, the global log level is set to ``RTE_LOG_DEBUG``.
+
+To reduce the verbosity of an application globally,
+adjust the global log level by passing a numeric level or a level name to the ``--log-level`` EAL parameter.
 For example::
 
 	/path/to/app --log-level=error
 
-	/path/to/app --log-level=debug
-
 	/path/to/app --log-level=5   # warning
 
 Within an application, the log level can be similarly set using the ``rte_log_set_global_level`` API.
 
+For setting per component log levels, see below.
