Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
If a PAM module returns an error message during authentication (and it's
the last one that the shell allows before resetting) the message is not
presented to the user, but rather the user is sent back to the user
selection page
[ Test case ]
1. On GDM try to login with an user
2. Type the *wrong* user password multiple times
3. After some retries the password field should not accept input anymore
The error message should be presented to the user
4. After some moments (enough to read the text) the user selection page should
be presented again
[ Regression potential ]
We had some dead code due to the wrong variable being referenced, so now
sending messages to a PAM module may be slower if a message is being
shown
