Fallback to ancestor + defaultvalue not working
Hi.

When using fallback to ancestor together with default value, i do not get any value in return, if there a value in one of the ancestors "resonOneTitle" field.

But if i remove the value from all the ancestors, then i get the default value as expected.

If i only call for the ancestor as fallback then it works perfectly, and returns the value from the first ancestor.

The code is inside a partial containing:
```
@inherits Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.Views.UmbracoViewPage
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models.PublishedContent;

@Model.Value("reasonOneTitle", fallback: Fallback.To(Fallback.Ancestors, Fallback.DefaultValue), defaultValue: new HtmlString("Default page title"))
```
If i do either of these, then it works just fine
```
@Model.Value("reasonOneTitle", fallback: Fallback.ToAncestors)

@Model.Value("reasonOneTitle", fallback: Fallback.ToDefaultValue, defaultValue: new HtmlString("Default page title"))
```

Your problem is this new HtmlString("Default page title") it should just be a string.
```
@Model.Value("reasonOneTitle", fallback: Fallback.To(Fallback.Ancestors, Fallback.DefaultValue), defaultValue: "Default page title")
```

Thanks! That worked.!

I was using the code from the docs:

https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Fundamentals/Design/Rendering-Content/#:~:text=In%20this%20example%2C%20we%20are%20looking%20for%20content%20firstly%20on%20the%20current%20node%20for%20the%20default%20language%2C%20and%20if%20not%20found%20we%27ll%20search%20through%20the%20ancestors.%20If%20failing%20to%20find%20any%20populated%20value%20from%20them%2C%20we%27ll%20use%20the%20provided%20default%3A

It would seem the doc is incorrect :D

I ran a few tests and it only worked when I passed it a normal string.
