USB: gadget: lpc32xx_udc: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
[ Upstream commit e3965acaf3739fde9d74ad82979b46d37c6c208f ]
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.
