resource: Fix find_next_iomem_res() iteration issue
Previously find_next_iomem_res() used "*res" as both an input parameter for the range to search and the type of resource to search for, and an output parameter for the resource we found, which makes the interface confusing. The current callers use find_next_iomem_res() incorrectly because they allocate a single struct resource and use it for repeated calls to find_next_iomem_res(). When find_next_iomem_res() returns a resource, it overwrites the start, end, flags, and desc members of the struct. If we call find_next_iomem_res() again, we must update or restore these fields. The previous code restored res.start and res.end, but not res.flags or res.desc. Since the callers did not restore res.flags, if they searched for flags IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_BUSY and found a resource with flags IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_BUSY | IORESOURCE_SYSRAM, the next search would incorrectly skip resources unless they were also marked as IORESOURCE_SYSRAM. Fix this by restructuring the interface so it takes explicit "start, end, flags" parameters and uses "*res" only as an output parameter. Based on a patch by Lianbo Jiang <lijiang@redhat.com>.
