Joachim Wiberg 34bf9a7776 Fix #467: TTY services stuck in restart state after non-zero exit
When a TTY exited with non-zero code (e.g., user with shell=/sbin/false),
it would enter restart state but never recover, requiring manual restart.

The throttling logic from commit f0032ab had two issues:

  1. Duplicate exit code check in service_retry() created infinite timer loop
  2. TTYs lacked default restart_tmo, causing timer to never start

Fix by removing duplicate check and ensuring TTYs get a 2-second default
restart_tmo for proper throttling.
