    rose: Fix NULL pointer dereference in rose_send_frame()

    The syzkaller reported an issue:

     </IRQ>

    It triggers NULL pointer dereference when 'neigh->dev->dev_addr' is
    called in the rose_send_frame(). It's the first occurrence of the
    `neigh` is in rose_loopback_timer() as `rose_loopback_neigh', and
    the 'dev' in 'rose_loopback_neigh' is initialized sa nullptr.

    It had been fixed by commit 3b3fd068c56e3fbea30090859216a368398e39bf
    (rose: Fix Null pointer dereference in rose_send_frame()) ever.
    But it's introduced by commit 3c53cd65dece47dd1f9d3a809f32e59d1d87b2b8
    (rose: check NULL rose_loopback_neigh->loopback) again.

    We fix it by add NULL check in rose_transmit_clear_request(). When
    the 'dev' in 'neigh' is NULL, we don't reply the request and just
    clear it.

    syzkaller don't provide repro, and I provide a syz repro like:
    r0 = syz_init_net_socket$bt_sco(0x1f, 0x5, 0x2)
    ioctl$sock_inet_SIOCSIFFLAGS(r0, 0x8914, &(0x7f0000000180)={'rose0\x00', 0x201})
    r1 = syz_init_net_socket$rose(0xb, 0x5, 0x0)
    bind$rose(r1, &(0x7f00000000c0)=@full={0xb, @dev, @null, 0x0, [@null, @null, @netrom, @netrom, @default,
    @null]}, 0x40)
    connect$rose(r1, &(0x7f0000000240)=@short={0xb, @dev={0xbb, 0xbb, 0xbb, 0x1, 0x0}, @remote={0xcc, 0xcc,
    0xcc, 0xcc, 0xcc, 0xcc, 0x1}, 0x1, @netrom={0xbb, 0xbb, 0xbb, 0xbb, 0xbb, 0x0, 0x0}}, 0x1c)
