The conversion to request_mem_region() is broken because it assumes that
the range is marked busy prior to release. However, due to the way that
the kmem driver manipulates the IORESOURCE_BUSY flag (clears it to let
{add,remove}_memory() handle busy) it requires a manual release_resource()
to perform cleanup.
Given that the actual 'struct resource *' needs to be recalled, not just
the range, add that tracking to the kmem driver-data.
Fixes: 0513bd5bb1 ("device-dax/kmem: replace release_resource() with release_mem_region()")

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.
