Description of problem:
Authentication failure message even before attempting login using smartcard

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@dhcp129-54 ~]# rpm -q pam_pkcs11
pam_pkcs11-0.6.2-24.2.el7.x86_64
[root@dhcp129-54 ~]# rpm -q gdm
gdm-3.14.2-18.el7.x86_64
[root@dhcp129-54 ~]# rpm -q gnome-shell
gnome-shell-3.14.4-52.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Modify authconfig to enable "Require smartcard for login"
2. Login using smartcard
3. Lock screen manually or due to inactivity
4. Remove smartcard
5. The login screen prompts to enter the smartcard
6. Click "Cancel" on the login screen

Actual results:
Before showing the message to insert the smartcard an authentication failure message is shown.

Expected results:
the login screen should show only the message to insert the smartcard
