Stop SNMP Connection and Transport Socket Log

Stop SNMP Connection and Transport Socket Log in /var/log/messages.

The following logs always fills the /var/log/messages and makes difficult to identify the other System and OS related logs.
And it always logs in two places in /var/log/messages and /var/log/snmpd.log respectively.
