Fixed #23754 -- Always allowed reference to the primary key in the admin

This change allows dynamically created inlines "Add related" button to work
correcly as long as their associated foreign key is pointing to the primary
key of the related model.

Thanks to amorce for the report, Julien Phalip for the initial patch,
and Collin Anderson for the review.
