Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: rose: Remove NULL check before dev_{put, hold}

The call netdev_{put, hold} of dev_{put, hold} will check NULL,
so there is no need to check before using dev_{put, hold},
remove it to silence the warning：

./net/rose/rose_route.c:619:2-10: WARNING: NULL check before dev_{put, hold} functions is not needed.
