Fix dialyzer warning about gen_event callback init/1 in log_mf_h

The warning is about log_mf_h having a different spec for gen_event
callback init/1 than defined in gen_event.erl. log_mf_h allows return
value {error,Reason}, while gen_even only specifies successful return
values.

This commit add {error,Reason} as a valid return value to the
gen_event callback, since this is handled by the code.
