Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 39/49] PM: domains: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()

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

[ Upstream commit 0b6200e1e9f53dabdc30d0f6c51af9a5f664d32b ]

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.
