3356915 - [Custom MDF]Sections still visible even user doesn't have the permission to view any fields inside

Symptom

User has created a custom MDF object and a UI. This UI has several different sections inside of it, and user has configured some field level overrides permissions for some users.

Before the release, if the user didn't have access to any of the fields inside of the section, the section didn't appear.

After the release, if the user doesn't have access to any of the fields inside of the section, the section appears but blank (without any fields inside of it).
