Subject: thunderbolt: Fix memory leak in margining_port_remove()
From: Yaxiong Tian <tianyaxiong@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ac43c9122e4287bbdbe91e980fc2528acb72cc1e upstream.
The dentry returned by debugfs_lookup() needs to be released by calling
dput() which is missing in margining_port_remove(). Fix this by calling
debugfs_lookup_and_remove() that combines both and avoids the memory leak.
