From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit c2e406596571659451f4b95e37ddfd5a8ef1d0dc upstream.

Kuyo reports that the pattern of using debugfs_remove(debugfs_lookup())
leaks a dentry and with a hotplug stress test, the machine eventually
runs out of memory.

Fix this up by using the newly created debugfs_lookup_and_remove() call
instead which properly handles the dentry reference counting logic.
