Subject: Seems the comment of find_next_system_ram() is not exact

Hi, Experts

I am a newbie for linux kernel. I just read the code of
find_next_system_ram() in kernel/resource.c

I think the comment of this function is not exact. This says "Finds
the lowest memory reosurce exists within [res->start.res->end)".

While I think the code is to find the lowest memory resource overlaps
[res->start, res->end).

308:      if ((p->end >= start) && (p->start < end))

If I am not correct, please let me know. :)

BTW, I find the "reosurce" is a typo.
