Problem/Motivation

FieldViewsDataProvider::defaultFieldImplementation() iterates the bundles returned by FieldStorageConfig::getBundles() and, for each, loads the
matching FieldConfig. getBundles() is derived from the entity field map, which includes bundle fields provided in code via hook_entity_bundle_field_info(). When a field has a configurable storage (FieldStorageConfig) but its per-bundle instance is declared in code (no FieldConfig entity), FieldConfig::loadByName() returns NULL, and Views logs an error on every Views data rebuild (cache clear, cron, config import).

The message is itself inaccurate: it claims a "non-existent config entity name," but the field genuinely exists, it's simply provided in code rather than as configuration.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a FieldStorageConfig for a fieldable entity type with no FieldConfig instances.
2. In a module, implement hook_entity_bundle_field_info() to return a code-provided instance of that field for one bundle.
3. Rebuild Views data (e.g. clear caches).
4. The log records "A non-existent config entity name returned by FieldStorageConfigInterface::getBundles(): … field name: " for that bundle.

Proposed resolution

Before logging, confirm the field genuinely has no definition for the bundle.
