Fix possible use-after-free when closing Blender with File Browser open

I think there wasn't actually any issue currently, but only by luck. We still
passed around and NULL-checked a pointer to freed memory (the file operator,
`SpaceFile.op`) which is easy to break and should be avoided.
Noticed while testing D8598.
