kernel/resource.c: fix muxed resource handling in __request_region()
In __request_region, if a conflict with a BUSY and MUXED resource is detected, then the caller goes to sleep and waits for the resource to be released. A pointer on the conflicting resource is kept. At wake-up this pointer is used as a parent to retry to request the region. A first problem is that this pointer might well be invalid (if for example the conflicting resource have already been freed). Another problem is that the next call to __request_region() fails to detect a remaining conflict. The previously conflicting resource is passed as a parameter and __request_region() will look for a conflict among the children of this resource and not at the resource itself. It is likely to succeed anyway, even if there is still a conflict. Instead, the parent of the conflicting resource should be passed to __request_region(). As a fix, this patch doesn't update the parent resource pointer in the case we have to wait for a muxed region right after.
