[PATCH] tty: pcn_uart: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 02 2023 - 09:12:53 EST


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.
