[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 45/50] kernel/fail_function: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2bb3669f576559db273efe49e0e69f82450efbca ]

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.
