I think release the lock and then reacquire it is ok. Because we have held the
refcount of sock and called rose_disconnect() to change the state of sock with
the protection of rose_list_lock which could synchronize with rose_destroy_socket().

If the sock is removed from the list by rose_destroy_socket(), there is
no rose->neighbour equals to neigh and the rose_kill_by_neigh() will return.

If there is a rose->neighbour equals to neigh, we held the refcount of sock
and called the rose_disconnect() to change the state of it with the protection
of rose_list_lock. Even if the sock could be removed from the rose_list by
rose_destroy_socket() during the time of unlocking, but the sock will not be 
deallocated because we have held the refcount of sock. When we reacquire the 
rose_list_lock, we only do sock_put() in order to deallocate the sock.

If we build a local list contain the relevant sockets and only acquire a reference
to each of them with the protection of rose_list_lock, the socket could be removed
by rose_destroy_socket() after we release the rose_list_lock. Then if we traverse 
such list outside the rose_list_lock we could not find the socket, as a result,
the neigh clearing and the refcount releasing operations will not be executed.
