[RFC] resource: Avoid unnecessary resource tree walking in __region_intersects()

[Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Currently, if __region_intersects() finds any overlapped but unmatched
resource, it walks the descendant resource tree to check for
overlapped and matched descendant resources.  This is achieved using
for_each_resource(), which iterates not only the descent tree, but
also subsequent sibling trees in certain scenarios.  While this
doesn't introduce bugs, it makes code hard to be understood and
potentially inefficient.

So, the patch renames next_resource() to __next_resource() and
modified it to return NULL after traversing all descent resources.
Test shows that this avoids unnecessary resource tree walking in
__region_intersects().

It appears even better to revise for_each_resource() to traverse the
descendant resource tree of "_root" only.  But that will cause "_root"
to be evaluated twice, which I don't find a good way to eliminate.
