debugfs: add debugfs_lookup_and_remove()
There is a very common pattern of using debugfs_remove(debufs_lookup(..)) which results in a dentry leak of the dentry that was looked up. Instead of having to open-code the correct pattern of calling dput() on the dentry, create debugfs_lookup_and_remove() to handle this pattern automatically and properly without any memory leaks.
