Describe the bug

If you configure these:

           .configure(SerializationFeature.WRAP_ROOT_VALUE, true)
           .configure(DeserializationFeature.UNWRAP_ROOT_VALUE, true);

Then mapper.valueToTree() fails with an exception that looks like this ('Thing' is the type being written to a tree):

Caused by: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Root name ('Thing') does not match expected ('JsonNode') for type `com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode`
 at [Source: UNKNOWN; byte offset: #UNKNOWN] (through reference chain: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode["Thing"])

Reproduction

class WrappingObjectMapperTest {

    private record Thing(String foo) {}

    @Test
    void canConvertValuesToTrees() {
        final Thing thing = new Thing("bar");

        final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper()
            .configure(SerializationFeature.WRAP_ROOT_VALUE, true)
            .configure(DeserializationFeature.UNWRAP_ROOT_VALUE, true);

        final JsonNode tree = mapper.valueToTree(thing);

        assertThat(tree.toString()).isEqualTo("{\"Thing\":{\"foo\":\"bar\"}}");
    }
}
