"Save with update_fields did not affect any rows" for removed object

ran into this because django checks using the default manager, see:

    def _do_update(self, base_qs, using, pk_val, values, update_fields, forced_update):
        """
        This method will try to update the model. If the model was updated (in
        the sense that an update query was done and a matching row was found
        from the DB) the method will return True.
        """
        filtered = base_qs.filter(pk=pk_val)
...

That base_qs has filtered out the soft deleted model and so it doesn't think any models were changed

@oppianmatt Thanks for investigation, looks like _do_update overriding will do the job but I'm still not sure that it is a good idea to allow removed objects manipulations. I need some time to turn over in mind this case.
