CMS Block listing page doesn't work for admin users with limited permissions

[ihor-sviziev]

Preconditions and environment

• Magento version 2.4.7-p4
• Admin user with restricted permissions for merchandising only (allowed only to manage categories, products, cms blocks, cms pages). Important: you need to un-select "Edit Page Design" under "Save Page"

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to Admin
2. Login with user, with "merchandising" permissions
3. Go to Content > Elements > Blocks

Expected result

You should see the CMS blocks list

Actual result

You see the magento error page with a report number.
In logs you have following:

Additional information

It wasn't these before installing the latest security patch.

Looks like root cause is in this commit: 3bebcd6#diff-3a204359fbffa83d59f68d531d829555fbc84decc5b9fbdd0e8a780cd81516a5R127-R143

The code is expected to be called only for CMS Page listing, while it's also runner for CMS block listing.

Workaround

Add the "Edit Page Design" permission
