Problem/Motivation
I have been developing a site that uses migrate fairly heavily to migrate data from a D6 site to a D8 site. Migration has run just fine on the site until doing an upgrade to 8.5.4 - the migration runs in 8.5.3, but after upgrading to either 8.5.4 or 8.5.5 migration consistently is broken. The symptom, for example when running drush ms is

Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error. [error]
I'm not quite certain how to proceed at this point, this sounds quite a lot like it may be related to
https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2912348 →
- but that appears to be fixed. If there is any help possible here I'd appreciate it.
Steps to reproduce
TBD
Proposed resolution
Add a check for NULL before using the returned array. The docs for \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityFieldManagerInterface::getFieldDefinitions() doesn't state that NULL can be returned.
Remaining tasks
Manual testing - There are 3 reports of successful manual testing of the patch in #3, See #8, #10, #12, and #26.
Write a test - To do this a field needs to be created that does not have a definition. How to do that?
