Subject: [PATCH] resource: re-factor page_is_ram()

Presently page_is_ram() relies on walk_system_ram_range() that performs a walk
on kernel iomem resources hierarchy with a dummy callback __is_ram(). Before
calling find_next_iomem_res(), walk_system_ram_range() does some book-keeping
which can be avoided for page_is_ram() use-case.

Hence this patch proposes to update page_is_ram() to directly call
find_next_iomem_res() with minimal book-keeping needed.

To avoid allocating a 'struct resource' the patch also updates
find_next_iomem_res() to not return -EINVAL in case 'res == NULL'. Instead
out 'struct resource *res' is only populated when its not NULL.
