There is no synchronization between the two timers, rose_t0timer_expiry
and rose_timer_expiry.
rose_timer_expiry() puts the neighbor when the rose state is ROSE_STATE_2.
However, rose_t0timer_expiry() does initiate a restart request on the
neighbor.
When rose_t0timer_expiry() accesses the released neighbor member digipeat,
a UAF is triggered.

To avoid this UAF, defer the put operation to rose_t0timer_expiry() and
stop restarting t0timer after putting the neighbor.

When putting the neighbor, set the neighbor to NULL. Setting neighbor to
NULL prevents rose_t0timer_expiry() from restarting t0timer.
