schema and docs got error in recursive serializers

Checklist

• I have verified that that issue exists against the master branch of Django REST framework.
• I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
• This is not a usage question. (Those should be directed to the discussion group instead.)
• This cannot be dealt with as a third party library. (We prefer new functionality to be in the form of third party libraries where possible.)
• I have reduced the issue to the simplest possible case.
• I have included a failing test as a pull request. (If you are unable to do so we can still accept the issue.)

Steps to reproduce

I have a recursive model Category and all things are fine, except schema and docs
Model:

class Category(models.Model):
    foursquare_id = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    plural_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    short_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    date_created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    parent_category = models.ForeignKey('self', related_name='categories', blank=True, null=True,
                                        on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    owner = models.ForeignKey(Account, related_name='categories', default=1, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Category, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Serializer:

class CategorySerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    owner = BasicAccountSerializer(read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Category
        fields = ['url', 'id', 'name',
                  'plural_name', 'short_name', 'date_created', 'owner', 'categories']

    def get_fields(self):
        fields = super(CategorySerializer, self).get_fields()
        fields['categories'] = CategorySerializer(many=True)
        return fields

When I go to schema and docs views as bellow I get an error and the server stops:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('api/schema/', get_schema_view(title=API_TITLE)),
    path('api/docs/', include_docs_urls(title=API_TITLE, description=API_DESCRIPTION)),
]

I know that a possible fix is:

class CategoryCategoriesField(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    owner = BasicAccountSerializer(read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Category
        fields = ['url', 'id', 'name',
                  'plural_name', 'short_name', 'date_created', 'owner', 'categories']


class CategorySerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    owner = BasicAccountSerializer(read_only=True)
    categories = CategoryCategoriesField(many=True, read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Category
        fields = ['url', 'id', 'name',
                  'plural_name', 'short_name', 'date_created', 'owner', 'categories']

But I can't use categories serializer for the third children.
