USB: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
[ Upstream commit 30374434edab20e25776f8ecb4bc9d1e54309487 ]
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.
