For a while, falco has set the inspector drop mode to 1, which should
discard several classes of events that weren't necessary to use most
falco rules.
However, it was mistakenly being called before the inspector was opened,
which meant it wasn't actually doing anything.
Fix this by setting the dropping mode after the inspector open.
On some spot testing on a moderately loaded environment, this results in
a 30-40% drop in the number of system calls processed per second, and
should result in a nice boost in performance.
