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.
