resource: fix the case of null pointer access
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.
