Description

If you disable Support PointLightWholeSceneShadows and try to place a point light in a level the editor will crash. 

Current work around is put shadows to low from engine scalability settings.

Working as expected in 4.19 CL# 4033788

Found in 4.20 CL# 4212847, 4.21 CL# 4229165

This is a regression.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open the editor
  2. Go to project settings and disable "Support PointLightWholeSceneShadows"
  3. Restart the editor
  4. Try to place a point light in the level

Results:
Editor will clash

Expected:
The point light will be placed in the scene
