Description (last modified by Ramiro Morales)

Models with GenericRelation fields defined as:

the_relation = generic.GenericRelation('Related')

produce objects that cannot be deleted:

>>> obj.delete()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "lib/django/db/models/base.py", line 463, in delete
    delete_objects(seen_objs)
  File "lib/django/db/models/query.py", line 867, in delete_objects
    del_query.delete_batch_related(pk_list)
  File "lib/django/db/models/sql/subqueries.py", line 61, in delete_batch_related
    field = f.rel.to._meta.get_field(f.content_type_field_name)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta'

I'm pretty sure the bug here is that generic relations aren't correctly accepting strings and need an actual class.
