[PATCH] kernel/time/test_udelay.c: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 02 2023 - 10:12:58 EST
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.
