The hang could be seen as show slave status displaying an error like
    Last_Error: Could not execute Write_rows_v1
along with
    Slave_SQL_Running: Yes

accompanied with one of the replication threads in show-processlist
characteristically having status like

   2394 | system user  |    | NULL | Slave_worker | 50852| closing tables

It turns out that closing tables worker got entrapped in endless looping
in mark_start_commit_inner() across already garbage-collected gco items.

The reclaimed gco links are explained with actually possible
out-of-order groups of events termination due to the Last_Error.
This patch reinforces the correct ordering to perform
finish_event_group's cleanup actions, incl unlinking gco:s
from the active list.
