Social REST auth with REST_SESSION_LOGIN = True

[vosi]

SocialLogin view class should have its own login method to assign some backend to user object, because dango.contrib.auth.login requires backend property, that usually is assigned by authenticate method

currently i've just made a dirty fix like this

class SocialLogin(OldSocialLogin):
    def login(self):
        # import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
        self.user = self.serializer.validated_data['user']
        self.token, created = self.token_model.objects.get_or_create(
            user=self.user)
        if getattr(settings, 'REST_SESSION_LOGIN', True):
            if not hasattr(self.user, 'backend'):
                self.user.backend = 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend'
            login(self.request, self.user)

but im sure it is not the most beautiful solution

Yeah!! It is also causing error, when trying to authenticate with Google.

I am having the same problem using the SocialLogin code in examples (Facebook + Twitter).
