[ Upstream commit 6595beb40fb0ec47223d3f6058ee40354694c8e4 ]

rose_kill_by_device() collects sockets into a local array[] and then
iterates over them to disconnect sockets bound to a device being brought
down.

The loop mistakenly indexes array[cnt] instead of array[i]. For cnt <
ARRAY_SIZE(array), this reads an uninitialized entry; for cnt ==
ARRAY_SIZE(array), it is an out-of-bounds read. Either case can lead to
an invalid socket pointer dereference and also leaks references taken
via sock_hold().

Fix the index to use i.
