[ 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
