[PATCH] restart: fix restart handler by name selection

Commit d20a9a455d8d ("restart: allow selecting restart handler by device
name") introduce a bug, while adding the support to select a restart
handler by device name.

The list_for_each_entry() loop should sort out all restart handler which
don't match the user requested restart handler. Instead all restart
handlers which don't have a device associated are honored as well
because the if condition is always 0 in this case.

Split the if to fix this and add a helper variable to make the code more
readable.
