Bug #10847: SystemStackError after NameError prepends a module

----------------------------------------
The following code causes `SystemStackError`.

```ruby
module Foo
end

NameError.prepend Foo
foo rescue $!
```

And here is the full backtrace:

```
system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `initialize': stack level too deep (SystemStackError)
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `initialize'
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `initialize'
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `initialize'
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `initialize'
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `initialize'
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `initialize'
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `initialize'
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `initialize'
	 ... 10907 levels...
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `initialize'
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `initialize'
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `method_missing'
	from system_stack_error_from_name_error.rb:3:in `<main>'
```

This happens on Ruby 2.0.0, 2,1,5, 2.2.0 and ruby-trunk(rev 49451).
