Comment:

 Looks like `$sidebars_widgets` needs to be declared as global in
 `wp_get_sidebars_widgets()`. Otherwise `retrieve_widgets()`, being called
 from there, sees `$sidebars_widgets` as undefined, and calls
 `wp_get_sidebars_widgets()` again and again.

 The patch also fixes the notice when
 `$sidebars_widgets['wp_inactive_widgets']` is not defined.
