belongs_to in namespaced children fails to detect a non-namespaced association

      MONGOID-4532 (Github PRĀ #4536) causes a regression in Mongoid 7.0.2.

      When a namespaced child model includes a belongs_to, 7.0.1 and prior assumed that association was not-namespaced.

      7.0.2 introduced a breaking change that now assumes that association is always namespaced inside the same module.

      Code to reproduce: https://gist.github.com/zarqman/d307ecf40a65fbe1b0fc71ea0d36ac69

      A workaround is to explicitly specify the :class_name for the association (as shown in the commented out line 40).

      Would it be possible for Mongoid's :class_name auto-detection to follow traditional Ruby semantics? That is, default to searching for Space::Other and if not found, then search for ::Other?

      If this isn't possible, then I would suggest reverting the change in PR #4536 since it is a code-breaking regression.
