Subject: [PATCH 4/4] [ROSE] ENETUNREACH held rose_connect()

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] [ROSE] ENETUNREACH held rose_connect()

Initial connection to rose neighbour nodes was unusually,
t0 timer was blocked and application program could not
use socket.
I performed a number of trials in order to find what was
slowing rose_connect() and blocking ROSE t0 timer.
Replacing the type of error returned did not cure the problem.
Finally removing the error returned when rose->neighbour is NULL
is the solution.
Without err = -ENETUNREACH rose_connect() returns default err = 0.
Doing that, t0 timer is running, rose_connect() performs adjacent
rose node connections as needed and rose frames are well routed.
Also, application programs can access rose connect socket.
