resources: Set type in __request_region()
We don't set the type (I/O, memory, etc.) of resources added by __request_region(), which leads to confusing messages like this: address space collision: [io 0x1000-0x107f] conflicts with ACPI CPU throttle [??? 0x00001010-0x00001015 flags 0x80000000] Set the type of a new resource added by __request_region() (used by request_region() and request_mem_region()) to the type of its parent. This makes the resource tree internally consistent and fixes messages like the above, where the ACPI CPU throttle resource really is an I/O port region, but request_region() didn't fill in the type, so %pR didn't know how to print it. Sample dmesg showing the issue at the link below.
