Subject: [PATCH 4.19 093/229] net: mvpp2: fix mvpp2 debugfs leak

From: Russell King (Oracle) <rmk+kernel@...linux.org.uk>

[ Upstream commit 0152dfee235e87660f52a117fc9f70dc55956bb4 ]

When mvpp2 is unloaded, the driver specific debugfs directory is not
removed, which technically leads to a memory leak. However, this
directory is only created when the first device is probed, so the
hardware is present. Removing the module is only something a developer
would to when e.g. testing out changes, so the module would be
reloaded. So this memory leak is minor.

The original attempt in commit fe2c9c61f668 ("net: mvpp2: debugfs: fix
memory leak when using debugfs_lookup()") that was labelled as a memory
leak fix was not, it fixed a refcount leak, but in doing so created a
problem when the module is reloaded - the directory already exists, but
mvpp2_root is NULL, so we lose all debugfs entries. This fix has been
reverted.

This is the alternative fix, where we remove the offending directory
whenever the driver is unloaded.
