[ROSE] lockdep: fix false positive

Browse source 
ROSE network devices are virtual network devices encapsulating ROSE
frames into AX.25 which will be sent through an AX.25 device, so form a
special "super class" of normal net devices; split their locks off into
a separate class since they always nest.
