Crash in `brave!AccountTrackerService::Initialize` (Linux only)

See original GitHub issue

Description

Going through crash reports, I’m seeing a LOT of these on Linux. Thousands.

Unclear what the impact is to users

A few examples here: https://stats.brave.com/dashboard#crash/5d8cbd539557ce001f93a373 https://stats.brave.com/dashboard#crash/5d8cbcf6ed6e87001fe15623 https://stats.brave.com/dashboard#crash/5d8cbce5f686a0001f52aa67 https://stats.brave.com/dashboard#crash/5d8cbbf79557ce001f939cd5 https://stats.brave.com/dashboard#crash/5d8cbb3911ca47001f18d670

Steps to Reproduce

Brave version (brave://version info)

Not a new issue; I saw some clients still on Chromium 73 versions of Brave running into this.

It seems to happen constantly but without being noticeable by the user. I’ll restart my browser in a terminal to see if this correlates with console output too.
