Instead use CChainState::ActivateBestChain, which is what the global one calls anyway.
This is a backport of core#20749 [12/17]
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20749/commits/5f8cd7b3a527999512161956db4d718688cb956f
Depends on D11183
Note that the change in default argument from a null CBlock shared pointer to a nullptr does not change behavior, as both cases lead to the same code path of ActivateBestChainStep() being called with a null Cblock pointer.
