[PATCH 6.2 0729/1001] scsi: snic: Fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()

[ Upstream commit ad0e4e2fab928477f74d742e6e77d79245d3d3e7 ]

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.
