orangefs: Fix kmemleak in orangefs_prepare_debugfs_help_string()
[ Upstream commit d23417a5bf3a3afc55de5442eb46e1e60458b0a1 ]
When insert and remove the orangefs module, then debug_help_string will
be leaked:

When remove the module, should always free debug_help_string. Should
always free the allocated buffer when change the free_debug_help_string.
