  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.  This requires saving off the root directory dentry to make
creation of individual device subdirectories easier.
