When a task is invoked programmatically Rake's CLI parser never runs so `top_level_tasks` is empty.
Fall back to the current task name in that case.
Example:
```ruby
$ rails runner '
require "rake"
Rails.application.load_tasks
Rake::Task["db:migrate"].invoke
'
```
Results in:
```
.../ruby/3.4.8/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/rake-13.4.2/lib/rake/task_manager.rb:59:in 'Rake::TaskManager#[]':
Don't know how to build task '' (See the list of available tasks with `rake --tasks`)
(RuntimeError)
```
without this fix.
