Subject: [PATCH 5.15 19/83] mm/damon/dbgfs: fix memory leak when using debugfs_lookup()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

commit 1552fd3ef7dbe07208b8ae84a0a6566adf7dfc9d upstream.

When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time.  Fix this up by properly calling
dput().
