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.

Does this depend on anything in your tree, or can I apply it?

It does not depend on anything in any of my trees, it's made against
Linus's tree right now so please take it through yours.

thanks!
