rose_send_frame() dereferences `neigh->dev` when called from
rose_transmit_clear_request(), and the first occurrence of the
`neigh` is in rose_loopback_timer() as `rose_loopback_neigh`,
and it is initialized in rose_add_loopback_neigh() as NULL.
i.e when `rose_loopback_neigh` used in rose_loopback_timer()
its `->dev` was still NULL and rose_loopback_timer() was calling
rose_rx_call_request() without checking for NULL.
- net/rose/rose_link.c
This bug seems to get triggered in this line:
rose_call = (ax25_address *)neigh->dev->dev_addr;
Fix it by adding NULL checking for `rose_loopback_neigh->dev`
in rose_loopback_timer().

Changes in v5:
- Free `dev` in rose_rx_call_request() and add NULL check for `dev`
before freeing it.
(Suggested-by: Jakub Kicinski <k...@kernel.org>)
Changes in v4:
- Free `dev`(on dev_hold()), when neigh->dev is NULL. (Suggested-by:
Jakub Kicinski <k...@kernel.org>)
Changes in v3:
- Corrected checkpatch warnings and errors (Suggested-by: Saeed
Mahameed <sa...@kernel.org>)
- Added "Fixes:" tag (Suggested-by: Saeed Mahameed <sa...@kernel.org>)
Changes in v2:
