[RFC PATCH 7/8] resource: Add NULL check in next_resource

[Guenter Roeck]

Commit 8c86e70acead ("resource: provide new functions to walk through
resources") adds a suble new requirement that iomem_resource.child must
not be NULL when walk_system_ram_range is called. This can cause a crash
if it turns out that there are no children. The crash ('Unable to handle
kernel NULL pointer dereference') is seen when trying to test a crisv32
image on kernels with this commit applied.

Fix by adding a NULL check into next_resource().
