Tap & hold on a link in a UITextView inside a modally presented view controller does not work

Classification:Other Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
When having a UITextView inside a modally presented view controller, tap & hold does not work on a link in a UITextView. The problem is caused by UITextView always wanting to present the AlertController it wants to show on the root view controller, which is already presenting a view controller, so it fails. It would be appropriate for the UITextView to present the alert controller on the containing view controller instead.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. modally present a view controller with a textview with an embedded link
2. tap & hold on the link

Expected Results:
1. a popup menu for the link shows up

Actual Results:
1. A log warning: Warning: Attempt to present <_UIRotatingAlertController: 0x7fa34a55c800> on <UIViewController: 0x7fa34975ff60> whose view is not in the window hierarchy!
2. no action sheet

Regression:
Has been there since at least iOS 8.
