    ms/audit: fix a memleak caused by auditing load module
    
    module.name will be allocated unconditionally when auditing load
    module, and audit_log_start() can fail with other reasons, or
    audit_log_exit maybe not called, caused module.name is not freed
    
    so free module.name in audit_free_context and __audit_syscall_exit
