Comment (by Ryan Castner):
I know this was closed due to inactivity and the ease of doing this, but I
feel like the solution, while working and simple is not obvious and
requires knowledge of the internals of how the admin works to figure out.
A documented setting to attach to model admin like disable_add_related =
('field_name', ...) seems like it would be a better solution.
The purpose of this is for non-technical admins who should have the
ability to add a user but would be confused by the ability to add new
users inline while modifying a page, likely if you are creating a new
model with a foreign key to 'user' for instance, you don't want to be
creating a new user at that time, so displaying the option can only serve
to confuse the user
