    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.
