Default admin belongs_to relationship fails if model not registered

[Augustin Riedinger]

If a model has a belongs_to relationship to another model that is not registered in config.exs, it fails with the following error:

[error] %UndefinedFunctionError{arity: 0, function: :__struct__, message: nil, module: nil, reason: nil}

I solved it by adding the second model to the admin, but this was not conceptually what I wanted to do because it was not supposed to be administrable.

Reporting the issue for the records.
