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.

Add a Fixes: tag? This hv_balloon debugfs code was added in v6.0,
And I see that debugfs_lookup_and_remove() was also added in v6.0.
Fixes: d180e0a1be6c ("Drivers: hv: Create debugfs file with hyper-v balloon usage information")
