From the user: "Unreal Editor performs a search for [an asset] usage in C++ classes, but during the search it tries to use TArray dangerously, triggering a check failure and a crash."

User's Github pull request: 8509

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new blank c++ project with starter content
In the content browser create a folder named Materials
In the Materials folder create a Material named M_Plastic
Create a new c++ class from the StaticMeshActor class named MyStaticMeshActor
- Reload all in Visual Studio if prompted

In the header file paste this on the line after GENERATED_BODY()

private:
	AMyStaticMeshActor();

	void RefreshMaterials();

protected:
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Appearance")
	UMaterialInterface* MyMaterial;

In the cpp file paste this below the #include "MyStaticMeshActor.h"

AMyStaticMeshActor::AMyStaticMeshActor()
{
    static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UMaterialInterface> plasticFinder(TEXT("Material'/Game/Materials/M_Plastic.M_Plastic'"));
    MyMaterial = plasticFinder.Object;

    RefreshMaterials();
}

void AMyStaticMeshActor::RefreshMaterials()
{
    UStaticMeshComponent* staticMeshComponent = GetStaticMeshComponent();
    check(staticMeshComponent);
    if (staticMeshComponent && MyMaterial)
        staticMeshComponent->SetMaterial(0, MyMaterial);
}

Save all; then compile in the Editor
Drag the StaticMeshActor you created into the level, and assign MaterialSphere to its Static Mesh
- It should have M_Plastic assigned for Element 0 and My Material
Navigate to M_Plastic and rename to anything else

Expected Results:
A warning message about renaming an asset that is used by CDO should occur, allowing user to rename/move that asset.

Actual Results:
Crash occurs due to the assertion failure inside the FAssetRenameManager::FindCDOReferencedAssets() => TArray::Remove() => CheckAddress();
