The debugfs_lookup() function returns a dentry with an increased reference
count that must be released by calling dput().

* See also:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.17-rc4#n94

* Would you like to complete the object clean-up by using a goto chain?

* How do you think about to increase the application of scope-based resource management?
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.17-rc4/source/include/linux/pci.h#L1208

* Would it be helpful to append parentheses to the function name
  in the summary phrase?
