[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.2 51/64] misc: vmw_balloon: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ 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.
