From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
[ Upstream commit 209cdbd07cfaa4b7385bad4eeb47e5ec1887d33d ]
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it, otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at once.
