sorter: fix memory leak in memoryBackEnd (#2665)

[ti-chi-bot]

This is an automated cherry-pick of #2665

What problem does this PR solve?

• When the sorter is using memory to sort, the sorter will internally hold a reference to events that have already been output to the sink. This will delay the recycling of the PolymorphicEvent objects by GC, causing increased memory use.

Cc https://github.com/pingcap/ticdc/issues/2553

What is changed and how it works?

• memoryBackEnd now eagerly clears references to events not needed any more.
