[1.7.x] Fixed #22994 -- regression with generic FK + admin list_view

The reason for the regression was that the GenericForeignKey field isn't
something meta.get_field_by_name() should return. The reason is that a
couple of places in Django expects get_field_by_name() to work this way.
It could make sense to return GFKs from get_field_by_name(), but that
should likely be done as part of meta refactoring or virtual fields
refactoring patches.

Thanks to glicerinu@gmail.com for the report and to Tim for working on
the issue.
