Subject[PATCH v2] kernel/resource.c: invalidate parent when freed resource has childs
Date
When a resource is freed and has children, the childrens are
left without any hint that their parent is no more valid.
This caused at least one use-after-free in the xhci-hcd using
ext-caps driver when platform code released platform devices.

In such case, warn and release all resources beyond.

v2:
- release everything below the released resource, not only
one child; re-using __release_child_resources
(Inspired by Linus Torvalds outline)
- warn only once
(According to Linus Torvalds outline)
- Keep parent and child name in warning message
(eases hunting for the involved parties)
