Deadlock in Chaos during PIE; the main thread is in USkeletalMeshComponent::HandleExistingParallelEvaluationTask waiting for a task to complete, and a worker thread is running that task and is in USkeletalMeshComponent::PerformBlendPhysicsBones, but unfortunately the main thread has locked the scene for writing and the worker thread is trying to read it.
Licensee is hitting this intermittently but has a workaround: disabled async animation evaluation ("Allow Multi Threaded Animation Update").
But since that will hit their frame rate they request a fix instead.
Matt Peters: I believe `UPhysicalAnimationComponent::UpdatePhysicsEngineImp` needs to be modified to call `GetBoneSpaceTransforms` before entering the lock.

This seems to be very rare; one of our designers got it because her PC was spending a lot of time rebuilding assets while she was playing in PIE, and I managed to repro it only after I cleared my DDC.
There's no existing public thread on this issue, so head over to Questions & Answers just mention UE-195356 in the post.
