Subject: IB/hfi1: Fix module use count flaw due to leftover module put calls
From: Dennis Dalessandro <dennis.dalessandro@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 822fbd37410639acdae368ea55477ddd3498651d upstream.
When the try_module_get calls were removed from opening and closing of the
i2c debugfs file, the corresponding module_put calls were missed. This
results in an inaccurate module use count that requires a power cycle to
fix.
Fixes: 09fbca8e6240 ("IB/hfi1: No need to use try_module_get for debugfs")
