Subject: of: dynamic: resource: add WARN in release_resource for DT overlays

This patch prevents a kernel OOPS when removing a DT overlay containing
nodes with reg properties. release_resources is called for these nodes.
However, the resource structs were never initialized, hence the kernel OOPS.

This is obviously a stopgap measure until a proper solution is coded, see [1].
