Since resources can be removed, locking should ensure that the resource
is not removed while accessing it. However, find_next_iomem_res() does
not hold the lock while copying the data of the resource.
Keep holding the lock while the data is copied. While at it, change the
return value to a more informative value. It is disregarded by the
callers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
