Widgets: Prevent widgets unintentionally being moved to the inactive sidebar.

This fixes a bug where widgets are unintentionally moved to the `wp_inactive_widgets` sidebar when batch updates occur through the REST API.

When batch requests are processed, only `$_wp_sidebars_widgets is updated by previous calls to `WP_REST_Widgets_Controller::create_item()`. `$sidebars_widgets` is not aware of the new widget’s intended location, and `retrieve_widgets()` mistakenly flags the widget as inactive.

Calling `wp_get_sidebars_widgets()` before `retrieve_widgets()` ensures both global variables match and is intended as a temporary fix until the root cause of the problem can be fixed.
