Cyclic embeds interfering with inherited models

      It appears that cyclic embeds are interfering with mongoid's ability to interface with mongo when inheritance is involved.

      Example:

      Place.rb
      class Places::Place
        include Mongoid::Document
        include Mongoid::Timestamps
        
        store_in collection: "places"
      
        field :name,         type: String,
      
        recursively_embeds_one
      end
      
      class Places::BurgerJoint < Places::Place
      end
      

      In prior versions of mongoid, we were able to query the database and access the `child_place` as expected on both `Places::Place` and `Places::BurgerJoint`. Now when querying the database, nothing happens.

      Console.rb
        Mongo::Logger.logger = Logger.new($stdout)
        Mongoid.logger=Logger.new($stdout)
      
        Places::Place.first
        => nil
      

      Note the complete lack of logging, queries, etc.
      However, if we remove `recursively_embeds_one`, then all is well.

      Console.rb
        Mongo::Logger.logger = Logger.new($stdout)
        Mongoid.logger=Logger.new($stdout)
      
        Places::Place.first
