Subject: [PATCH] resources: fix call to alignf() in allocate_resource()

The second parameter to alignf() in allocate_resource() must
reflect what new resource is attempted to be allocated, else
functions like pcibios_align_resource() (at least on x86) or
pcmcia_align() can't work correctly.

Commit 1e5ad9679016275d422e36b12a98b0927d76f556 broke this by
setting the "new" resource until we're about to return success.
To keep the resource untouched when allocate_resource() fails,
a "tmp" resource is introduced.
