[PATCH 6.2 0628/1001] trace/blktrace: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[ Upstream commit 83e8864fee26f63a7435e941b7c36a20fd6fe93e ]
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.
