[PATCH] kernel/resource.c: ensure parent is not freed in __request_region()

[Simon Guinot <simon.guinot@sequanux.org>]

The commit 59ceeaaf355fa0fb16558ef7c24413c804932ada
("kernel/resource.c: fix muxed resource handling in __request_region()")
don't address properly the case where the current parent resource has
been freed while sleeping, waiting for a muxed resource to be available.

This patch fixes the issue by resetting the parent pointer to the root
parent resource when sleeping is needed.
