Temporary strings with volt_* file names should be released after the
debugfs entries are created.

The patch eliminates kmemleak reports with the following stack trace
(multiple objects depending on HW):

unreferenced object 0xcedbc5a0 (size 64):
  comm "swapper", pid 1, jiffies 4294929375 (age 423.734s)
