Subject: [PATCH V2 2/3] x86/ioapic: Fix wrong pointers in ioapic_setup_resources()

On a 4-socket brickland, hot-removing one ioapic is fine. Hot-removing
the 2nd one causes panic in mp_unregister_ioapic() while calling
release_resource(). It is because the iomem_res pointer has already been
released when removing the first ioapic.

Fix it by assigning the correct pointers to ioapics[i].iomem_res in
ioapic_setup_resources().

To explain the use of &res[num] here: res is assigned to ioapic_resources,
and later in ioapic_insert_resources() we do

	struct resource *r = ioapic_resources;
        for_each_ioapic(i) {
                insert_resource(&iomem_resource, r);
                r++;
        }

Here r is treated as an arry of struct resource, and the r++ ensures that
each element of the array is inserted separately. Thus we should call
release_resouce() on each element at &res[num].
