Subject: resource: fix locking in find_next_iomem_res()

Since resources can be removed, locking should ensure that the resource is
not removed while accessing it.  However, find_next_iomem_res() does not
hold the lock while copying the data of the resource.

Keep holding the lock while the data is copied.  While at it, change the
return value to a more informative value.  It is disregarded by the
callers.
