 In the context of #19580, Django now requires an instance pk to even
 instanciate a related manager [7ba6ebe9149a].

 Now I have a use case where I need to introspect the model used by a
 related manager (`MyModel().related_set.model`) and Django 4.1 refuses
 that with `ValueError: 'MyModel' instance needs to have a primary key
 value before this relationship can be used.`

 My opinion is that is is too aggressive of a check and would suggest to
 let the `__init__` succeed even if the instance has no pk. Other calls to
 `_check_fk_val` in the class seems sufficient to me to safeguard against
 shooting in the foot.
