RCTUnsafeExecuteOnMainQueueSync crash

Description

UIKit's UIView only guarantee to run on main thread/MainActor.
But ReactNative's RCTRootView is expecting to run on main queue.
This will cause crash when using RCTRootView in UICollectionViewCell which may call init on com.apple.uikit.datasource.diffing (serial) queue.

Steps to reproduce

Init a RCTRootView in a UICollectionViewCell.init method

React Native Version

0.76.2

Affected Platforms

Runtime - iOS

Bắt đầu với RNMainQueueCrashDemo được liên kết và theo dõi quá trình khởi tạo RCTRootView thông qua RCTUnsafeExecuteOnMainQueueSync. Tái hiện kịch bản UICollectionViewCell.init trong quá trình áp dụng diffable data source và so sánh với stack trace đã được báo cáo. Công việc được hoàn tất khi crash không còn xảy ra trong đường dẫn khởi tạo này.
