Empty nested schemas are not minimized

[Aloune92]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? Bug

What is the current behavior? Empty nested schemas are not minimized.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

const { model, Schema } = require('mongoose');

const nestedSchema = new Schema({
  bar: String
}, { _id: false });

const schema = new Schema({
  foo: nestedSchema
});

const MyModel = model('MyModel', schema);

const myModel = await MyModel.create({ foo: {} });

console.log(myModel); // { _id: 61e82a9247bc4b3b51231301, foo: {}, __v: 0 }

What is the expected behavior? foo is stored in db . It should not and myModel.foo should not appears in the result of the console.log.

What are the versions of Node.js, Mongoose and MongoDB you are using? Note that "latest" is not a version.

Node v16.10.0 Mongoose v5.13.9 or v6.1.7 MongoDB v4.4.7
