Fix T90972: Crash calling Mesh.clear_geometry in edit-mode

No longer free the edit-mesh pointer while in edit-mode since this
isn't reliable to keep the object in edit-mode while freeing it's
edit-mesh data.

Users who want to exit edit-mode should do so explicitly.

Caused by 6d2f9b1dfa98502e9e9f1a73e3dded2ded1f1ce6.
