THis doesn't change the condition's logic at all, but is an attempt to make things a bit more readable: instead of checking log_target != LOG_TARGET_AUTO let's actually list the targets where we want to consider journal/syslog/kmsg, to make things a bit less confusing. After all the message here is not to avoid them if LOG_TARGET_AUTO is set, but to definitely do them in the other cases.
