[PATCH v3] resource: make sure requested range is included in the root range

[PATCH v3] resource: make sure requested range is included in the root range

[Octavian Purdila]

When the requested range is outside of the root range the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split will cause an infinite recursion which
will overflow the stack as seen in the warning bellow.

This particular stack overflow was caused by requesting the
(100000000-107ffffff) range while the root range was (0-ffffffff). In
this case __request_resource would return the whole root range as
conflict range (i.e. 0-ffffffff). Then, the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split would continue the recursion requesting
the new range as (conflict->end+1, end) which incidentally in this
case equals the originally requested range.

This patch aborts looking for an usable range when the request does
not intersect with the root range. When the request partially overlaps
with the root range, it ajust the request to fall in the root range
and then continues with the new request.

When the request is modified or aborted errors and a stack trace are
logged to allow catching the errors in the upper layers.
