Subject: [PATCH 1/1] [PATCH] net: rose: fix unregistered netdevice: waiting for rose0 to become free

Here is the context.

This patch adds dev_put(dev) in order to allow removal of rose module
after use of AX25 and ROSE via rose0 device.

Otherwise when trying to remove rose module via rmmod rose an infinite
loop message was displayed on all consoles with xx being a random number.

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

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

...

With the patch it is ok to rmmod rose.

This bug appeared with kernel 4.10 and has been only partially repaired by adding two dev_put(dev).
