SubjectRe: [PATCH] release_resource() check for NULL resource

So what is the counter-part for request_region if it's not
release_resource? As far as I can tell, release_region is marked as
compatability cruft.

But anyway, my point is that dealing with NULL in many release functions
is beneficial for releasing a partially initialized state.
