    resource: fix the case of null pointer access · 800df627
    Vivek Goyal authored
    Richard and Daniel reported that UML is broken due to changes to
    resource traversal functions.  Problem is that iomem_resource.child can
    be null and new code does not consider that possibility.  Old code used
    a for loop and that loop will not even execute if p was null.
    
    Revert back to for() loop logic and bail out if p is null.
    
    I also moved sibling_only check out of resource_lock. There is no
    reason to keep it inside the lock.
    
    Following is backtrace of the UML crash.
