TracePoint#defined_class doesn't return Class or Module

Description

In some case (using singleton method),
TracePoint#defined_class doesn't return Class or Module.

example

def self.foo
end

obj = Object.new

def obj.foo
end

module M
def baz
end
end

class C
include M
def self.bar
end
end

TracePoint.trace(:call){|tp|
p [tp.defined_class, tp.defined_class.kind_of?(Module)]
}

foo
obj.foo
C.bar
C.new.baz

[main, false]
[#Object:0x2d8267c, false]
[C, true]
[M, true]

The name `defined_class' expected to return object of Class or Module.
So it should be return Class or Module.

Current code returns modified object by singleton class.
I propose to return singleton class directly.

The following patch fixes this issue.

trace_arg->klass = RBASIC(trace_arg->klass)->klass;
}

  •   else if (FL_TEST(trace_arg->klass, FL_SINGLETON)) {
    
  •   trace_arg->klass = rb_iv_get(trace_arg->klass, "__attached__");
    
  •   }
    
    }
    else {
    trace_arg->klass = Qnil;

After that, that script shows:

[#<Class:#Object:0x874b244>, true]
[#<Class:#Object:0x873f9a8>, true]
[#Class:C, true]
[M, true]

The current behavior is from `set_trace_func' (6th parameter of block).
I'm not sure why it returns modified object instead of singleton class.

I believe TracePoint#defined_class should return singleton class directly.
TracePoint is introduced from 2.0, so no compatibility issue.
