Revert "core: check start limit on condition checks too"

This reverts commit 2de9b9793b91f492141f090dcc89445511e94bd4.

This check causes regressions, in particular our own units fail. Apparently, it
is enough for the unit to be referenced enough times:

$ journalctl -b -u systemd-ask-password-console.path

And the same for other units.

Fixes #13434.
