Descriptive summary

In Hyrax 5.0.1 running Sirenia, when I attempt to update the visibility of a work, I receive a Failed save on # undefined method split' for nil:NilClass` message and the visibility does not update.

Steps to reproduce the behavior in User Interface (UI)

1. Run a local build of Sirenia using Docker
2. Log in and navigate to Dashboard -> Works
3. Click on the title of a work that you've already deposited (or deposit a new one if you don't have any works)
4. Click Edit
5. Select a different visibility setting (I went from Public to Institution) and click Save Changes
6. Observe message Failed save on # undefined method split' for nil:NilClass`
7. Go back to Dashboard -> Works and observe that visibility has not updated

Actual behavior (include screenshots if available)

Attempting to change the visibility of a work generates Failed save on # undefined method split' for nil:NilClass` message and does not update the visibility.

Acceptance Criteria/Expected Behavior

Attempting to change the visibility of a work should update the visibility accordingly

This issue does not occur on dev.nurax or pg.nurax

I will refocus on making this change on the Valkyrie level, unless @dlpierce is already working on this.

PR in Valkyrie (https://github.com/samvera/valkyrie/pull/960, already merged) will fix this issue.

This works while running the valkyrie-fedora-fix branch locally. I can change the visibility of a work without getting an error message
