Fix T85691: attributes used by geometry nodes were removed automatically

This has technically been fixed by rB3e87d8a4315d794efff659e40f0bb9e34e2aec8a,
but the fix there is questionable, because it disables an optimization for vertex groups
entirely. This fix is a little bit more precise in that it only disables the optimization when
the object is used by some geometry nodes modifier.
