Crash on VFXReadbackBuffer::ReadbackInvokeCallback when dragging a VFX that has a Particle Strip Node to the Scene

Package: Visual Effect Graph

-

How to reproduce:
1. Create a new HDRP/ URP project
2. Import the Visual Effect Graph package from the Package Manager if needed
3. Create a new VFX file (right-click in the Project window -> Create -> Visual Effects -> Visual Effect Graph)
4. Double-click on the newly created VFX file to open it
5. Right-click in the Graph editor and select Create Node -> System -> Simple Heads & Trails (System)
6. Save the Graph and drag it into the Hierarchy window

Reproducible with: 2019.4.20f1 (7.5.3), 2020.2.5f1 (10.3.1), 2021.1.0b7 (11.0.0), 2021.2.0a5 (12.0.0)
Could not test with: 2018.4.32f1 (4.10.0) ('Simple Heads & Trails' does not exist and can't create a 'Initialize Particle' Node which seems to cause the crash)

Notes:
- Reproducible using integrated GPUs like Intel HD 620
- Reproducible using URP/ HDRP or legacy renderer (2019.4)
- This error dialog might occur: 'Failed to present D311 swapchain due to device reset/removed. This error can happen if you draw or dispatch very expensive workloads to the GPU, which can cause Windows to detect a GPU Timeout and reset the device...)

    I'd like to confirm that it's not related to particle strips only. We have crash reports from Intel HD Graphics 4000 that still show crashing after removing particle strips. However, Intel HD Graphics 600 seem to work fine after we disabled all particle strips in our graphs.

    We are also experiencing this issue, it's a pretty devastating blow to our community as tons of people are pouring in reporting it as a bug. We are now forced to deactivate the affected VFX which is really unfortunate.

    This issue makes VFX graph almost unusable with d3d11 and an integrated graphics card. I have seen similar crashes when not using particle strips so I don't think it is related to just particle strips.
