Description

If a model:

my_field = CharField(
    max_length=64,
    validators=[RegexValidator('pattern')],
)

is migrated to:

my_field = CharField(
    max_length=64,
    validators=[RegexValidator(re.compile('pattern'))],
)

an uncaught AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'pattern' will be raised from here: ​https://github.com/django/django/blob/59ab3fd0e9e606d7f0f7ca26609c06ee679ece97/django/db/migrations/utils.py#L18 ,
caused by this comparison: ​https://github.com/django/django/blob/59ab3fd0e9e606d7f0f7ca26609c06ee679ece97/django/db/migrations/autodetector.py#L1143

This is because comparing a RegexObject (the wrapper for a compiled regex) to a string is not properly handled. This issue was introduced by ​https://github.com/django/django/commit/91f701f4fc324cd2feb7dbf151338a358ca0ea18
