You can't release the lock protecting the list traversal, then re-
acquire it and keep traversing using the same iterator. The list could
be modified in-between.

Instead you could build a local list containing the relevant sockets
(under the rose_list_lock protection), additionally acquiring a
reference to each of them

Then traverse such list outside the rose_list_lock, acquire the socket
lock on each of them, do the neigh clearing and release the reference.

Doing the above right is still fairly non trivial.
