…g server's source address is configured (sonic-net#17616) ### Why I did it An in-band syslog server will not receive any syslog if it is configured without a VRF specified, which is because `eth0` is always specified as the `device` of a syslog server and the syslog packets will be sent to `eth0` regardless of its destination IP address. ### How I did it Pass the option "device" in rsyslog.conf only if when syslog server's source address is configured with a non-default VRF #### How to verify it Manually test: 1. Configuring a syslog server without VRF specified or with `default` as the VRF: no `device` passed in `rsyslog.conf` 2. Configuring a syslog server with non-default VRF: the configured VRF passed as `device` in `rsyslog.conf`
