Subject: [PATCH] kernel/resource: make iomem_resource implicit in release_mem_region_adjustable()

"mem" in the name already indicates the root, similar to
release_mem_region() and devm_request_mem_region(). Make it implicit.
The only single caller always passes iomem_resource, other parents are
not applicable.
