There are UAF bugs in rose_heartbeat_expiry(), rose_timer_expiry()
and rose_idletimer_expiry(). The root cause is that del_timer()
could not stop the timer handler that is running and the refcount
of sock is not managed properly.

One of the UAF bugs is shown below:

    (thread 1)          |        (thread 2)
                        |  rose_bind
                        |  rose_connect
                        |    rose_start_heartbeat
rose_release            |    (wait a time)
  case ROSE_STATE_0     |
  rose_destroy_socket   |  rose_heartbeat_expiry
    rose_stop_heartbeat |
    sock_put(sk)        |    ...
  sock_put(sk) // FREE  |
                        |    bh_lock_sock(sk) // USE

The sock is deallocated by sock_put() in rose_release() and
then used by bh_lock_sock() in rose_heartbeat_expiry().

Although rose_destroy_socket() calls rose_stop_heartbeat(),
it could not stop the timer that is running.

The KASAN report triggered by POC is shown below:
