Remove unnecessary global mutex in parallel replication.

The function apply_event_and_update_pos() is called with the
rli->data_lock mutex held. However, there seems to be nothing in the
function actually needing the mutex to be held. Certainly not in the
parallel replication case, where sql_slave_skip_counter is always 0
since the non-zero case is handled by the SQL driver thread.

So this patch makes parallel replication use a variant of
apply_event_and_update_pos() without the need to take the
rli->data_lock mutex. This avoids one contended global mutex for each
event executed, which might improve performance on CPU-bound workloads
somewhat.
