There is no need to store the dentry for a fixed filename that we have the string for. So just have debugfs look it up when we need it to remove the file, no need to store it anywhere locally. Note, this driver is broken in that debugfs will not work for more than one instance of the device it supports. But given that this patch does not change that, and no one has ever seemed to notice, it must not be an issue...
