Crash when adding foliage instances to unloaded IFA

Crash when adding foliage instances to unloaded IFA

Description

Ran into a crash when trying to programmatically add foliage to a large WP level with some unloaded IFAs. 

Steps to Reproduce
  1. In a World Partition level, unload all the Instanced Foliage Actors via the Outliner
  2. Via an Editor Utility Blueprint or Widget, run the AddInstances function on the Editor World to add a foliage instance of whatever FoliageType you have available. If all your IFAs are unloaded, you should just need to pass in a single transform at 0,0,0.
