admin list_editable displays wrong error messages

[Marc Egli]

Considering the following ModelAdmin:

class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('pk', 'one', 'two')
    list_editable = ('one', 'two')

If you have errors in your form there is either Please correct the error below. or Please correct the errors below.. But this distinction is made on the count of forms having errors not on the total error count.

• If you have one entry and manage to have errors in both fields then it uses Please correct the error below.
• If you have two entries and you have one error in one of them it says Please correct the errors below.

I'm looking into it and the issue stems from the fact that {{ formset.error }} is a list that has as many elements as the number of forms in the formset.

To fix this, I'm thinking of introducing a new method on formsets: total_error_count that would count all the actual errors.

I'll have a pull request ready soon.
