Error when reloading with a nil embedded field

      We get an error with the following code: 

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        embeds_one :label
      end
      class Label
        include Mongoid::Document
        field :name, type: String
        embedded_in :band
      end
      
      label = Label.new(name: "Neil")
      b = Band.new(label: label)
      b.save!
      b.label = nil
      label.reload  # error 

      This spawns the following error:

      `reload': undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) 

      Which seems incorrect. I think an error should still be raised in this case, but a more appropriate one with a more descriptive message.
