Description

#### Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Make sure Jetpack widgets are enabled on your site, and EU Cookie widget is not used
2. Go to `/wp-admin/customize.php?autofocus[panel]=widgets`
3. Look into JS console
4. See error: `Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'classList' of null`

It seems, that we enqueuing JS files into a customizer, but relevant markup is not present: https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/master/modules/widgets/eu-cookie-law/widget.php#L1-L6

Research direction

Reproduce the issue at /wp-admin/customize.php?autofocus[panel]=widgets with the EU Cookie widget disabled, then inspect modules/widgets/eu-cookie-law/widget.php at the referenced lines. Trace why the widget JavaScript is loaded without its markup and verify that the Customizer console has no classList error when the widget is absent.
