The most common use case for `bind_call` is to protect from core
methods being redefined, for instance a typical use:
```ruby
UNBOUND_METHOD_MODULE_NAME = Module.instance_method(:name)
def real_mod_name(mod)
UNBOUND_METHOD_MODULE_NAME.bind_call(mod)
end
```
But it's extremely common that the method wasn't actually redefined.
In such case we can avoid creating a new callable method entry,
and simply delegate to the receiver.
This result in a 1.5-2X speed-up for the fast path, and little to
no impact on the slowpath:
