Using model InlineFormset created with inlineformset_factory fails with KeyError

Description

The following code would fail with KeyError 'user' at django/forms/models.py in add_fields, line 507

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from foo.models import InfoEntry

user = User.objects.get(pk=1)

InfoEntryFormset = inlineformset_factory(User, InfoEntry)
formset = InfoEntryFormset(instance=user)

It seems BaseInlineFormSet tries to access form.fields[self.fk.name] before it is created.
Attached is a patch against r9885 fixing this, but should probably be better investigated.

Resolution: → invalid

I would suspect the foreign key to User is marked as editable=False which is incorrect. That would explain why form.fields does not contain that key. Marking invalid. Reopen if this is not the case.
