[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 24/30] kernel/power/energy_model.c: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()

[ Upstream commit a0bc3f78d0fffa8be1a73bf945a43bfe1c2871c1 ]

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.
