[Android] accessing sync from Settings causes crash (x86 only)

[LaurenWags]

Description

When I access Sync from Settings, I get the "Unfortunately Brave has stopped" message. I get it 3x, and then the app relaunches. Then I get the prompt to allow Brave to take photos/video (I get this 3x as well).

Note - this does not reproduce for me on ARM device (Android 5). @srirambv could not reproduce on his device either.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install 1.11.98.
2. Navigate to Settings
3. Tap on Sync

Actual result

Crash. Note, sometimes after tapping on OK the prompt to allow photo/video comes up, but then the same "Unfortunately..." message pops up over top of it.

Expected result

No crash, able to access sync UI

Additional information

Note - if you had a sync chain on 1.10.99 and upgraded, you still get the crash. You do not get prompted to allow photo/video though. But you still can't access sync info.
