net: rose: fix netdev reference changes
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.
