CPU usage spikes in the Loading.LockPersistentManager when async loading/unloading Scenes with Terrain
How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached "ReproProject.zip" project
2. Open the "Game Streamer Scene" Scene (Assets/NatureManufacture Assets/WorldStreamer/Tutorial Work and Game Scenes)
3. Make sure the Profiler window is opened (Window -> Analysis -> Profiler)
4. Enter Play Mode
5. Move the Camera in the Game view with WASD keys while holding the shift key on the keyboard
6. Press the Pause button when huge CPU usage spikes in the Profiler window are visible
7. Observe the Profiler's Overview section of the spikes
Expected result: No CPU usage spikes are in the Loading.LockPersistentManager in the Profiler's Overview section
Actual result: A huge CPU usage spike in the Loading.LockPersistentManager (Around 60 % usage can be seen in the Profiler's Overview section)
Reproducible with: 2019.4.13f1, 2020.1.10f1, 2020.2.0b8, 2021.1.0a1
Could not test with: 2018.4.28f1 (Due to errors with missing functionality)
Note:
- In 2020.2.0b8, 2021.1.0a1 CPU usage spikes are instead from "LogStringToConsole" and the whole Scene freezes for 1-2 seconds when moving around it, but the CPU usage spikes are still coming from Camera's Culling

Resolution Note (fix version 2021.2):
The Terrain Team has managed to fix this issue within the Terrain code but after investigation we found the true reason behind it was that the PersistentManager locks up all PPtr dereferences while scenes are being asynchronously loaded. We fixed this in the Terrain code by avoiding PPtr dereferencing as much as possible.
A deeper fix is still yet to be made because PPtr can still happen anywhere, including in user scripts, we're tracking this secondary fix over in this issue: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/cpu-usage-spikes-in-the-loading-dot-lockpersistentmanager-when-async-loading-slash-unloading-scenes
