user
model is overridden

We've been seeing errors like this on 1.8.16:
{{{
File "[...snip...]/django/contrib/auth/__init__.py", line 111, in login
request.session[SESSION_KEY] = user._meta.pk.value_to_string(user)
AttributeError: 'MetaDict' object has no attribute 'pk'
}}}
We solved them by going through the object returned by get_user_model()
instead of using the user instance directly. This also matches what's done
in other parts of the codebase (for example, in
_get_user_session_key(request)).
