kernel/resource.c: handle reinsertion of an already-inserted resource

If the same resource is inserted to the resource tree (maybe not on
purpose), a dead loop will be created.  In this situation, The kernel does
not report any warning or error :(

  The command below will show a endless print.
  #cat /proc/iomem
