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().
