First makemigrations fails with polymorphic and DRF

[godardth]

Issue with

Django==1.11.13
django-polymorphic==2.0.3
djangorestframework==3.9.3

Summary
Django fails creating the first migrations when using polymorphic and Django Rest Framework simultaneously. The part of the code that triggers the error is the queryset in that part of the code :

class ChildViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Child.objects.all()
    serializer_class = ChildSerializer
    permission_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly,)

Workaround
Commenting the viewset / reference to the viewset in the urls.py to make the first migration.

Issue here is that the way currently instance_of is written is not lazy. It evaluates in place. This should be fixed, otherwise I suggest moving setting of queryset into get_queryset method.

I have the same problem trying to run makemigrations --dry-run in ci - the queryset definition seems to trigger a failure through the polymorphic library. This is preventing us from checking for unmade migrations in ci, which would be very nice to have.
