Subject: HV: hv_balloon: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
Git-commit: 6dfb0771429a63db8561d44147f2bb76f93e1c86
References: git-fixes

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.
