 Avoid PHP notices when checking termmeta capabilities against a non-
 existent term.

 Previously, checks like `current_user_can( 'edit_term_meta', $term_id )`
 returned the proper value, but generated a PHP notice due to the fact
 that `get_term( $term_id )` could, in certain instances, return
 `WP_Error` objects.

 Props caercam.
 Fixes #40891.
