Description

If model be like

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
class Student(models.Model):
    per = models.ForeignKey(Person, to_field='name')

Now if invalid error comes up from validate(), it will be like
'person instance with pk 'somename' does not exist.'

It should be:
'person instance with name 'somename' does not exist.'
