Merge branch '19312-confidential-issue' into 'master'
Fix privilege escalation issue with OAuth external users
Related to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/19312
This MR fixes a privilege escalation issue, where manually set external users would be reverted back to internal users if they logged in via OAuth and that provider was not in the `external_providers` list.
