Description

change_password view in django.contrib.auth.admin.UserAdmin does not use
self.queryset() to retrieve the user instance to act on.

Let's assume a developer has subclassed UserAdmin overriding its queryset
method to hide certain users from admin web interface,
then he would be surprised to find out that someone with change_user
permission can still change password of these hidden users.

attached patch (applies to trunk) with test.

Fixed #16958 -- Correctly use the queryset method in the auth app's UserAdmin class. Thanks, mpaolini.
