vim-patch:9.1.0764: [security]: use-after-free when closing a buffer (neovim#30705)

Problem:  [security]: use-after-free when closing a buffer
Solution: When splitting the window and editing a new buffer,
          check whether the newly to be edited buffer has been marked
          for deletion and abort in this case
