Eric Dumazet 9a070a4417 net: rose: fix netdev reference changes
[ Upstream commit 931027820e4dafabc78aff82af59f8c1c4bd3128 ]

Bernard reported that trying to unload rose module would lead
to infamous messages:

unregistered_netdevice: waiting for rose0 to become free. Usage count = xx

This patch solves the issue, by making sure each socket referring to
a netdevice holds a reference count on it, and properly releases it
in rose_release().

rose_dev_first() is also fixed to take a device reference
before leaving the rcu_read_locked section.

Following patch will add ref_tracker annotations to ease
future bug hunting.
