Problematic code

~~~ruby
class A
  def aa
    self.bb ||=3D 0
  end

  private

  def bb
    1
  end
end

A.new.aa
~~~
On 2.0 and 2.1 this produces 'NoMethodError: private method `bb' called for=
'. But since 2.2 this works and return '1'. Checked also on ruby-head from =
rvm.
This is similar #9907 but this allows to execute private methods by pretend=
ing that setter might be used.
