We need audit_log_container_drop in audit_free_syscall() due to needing
context, which gets freed in audit_free_syscall() called from
audit_free().

We need audit_log_container_drop in audit_log_exit() due to having that
record included before the EOE record at the end of audit_log_exit().

We could put in _contobj_put() if we drop context and any attempt to
connect it with a syscall record, which I strongly discourage.

The syscall record contains info about subject, container_id record only
contains info about container object other than subj pid.
