Description of problem:
A kickstart installation with a user defined using the sshpw kickstart command doesn't allow to connect to the installation environment using ssh. The following traceback is reported in journalctl:

Jul 23 15:33:26 localhost handle-sshpw[1834]: Traceback (most recent call last):
Jul 23 15:33:26 localhost handle-sshpw[1834]:   File "/usr/sbin/handle-sshpw", line 51, in <module>
Jul 23 15:33:26 localhost handle-sshpw[1834]:     homedir=ud.homedir, shell=ud.shell, gecos=ud.gecos, root="/")

Jul 23 15:33:26 localhost systemd[1]: anaconda-sshd.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1
Jul 23 15:33:26 localhost systemd[1]: anaconda-sshd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.3.0-20200701.2
anaconda-33.16.3.10-1.el8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a kickstart file incluing the sshpw command:
sshpw --username=John --plaintext heslo
2. Start installation using the kickstart file, append "inst.sshd" on the kernel command line.
3. Try to connect to the installation environment using ssh, use the "John" user name.

Actual results:
sshd is not running:
Jul 23 15:33:26 localhost handle-sshpw[1834]: Traceback (most recent call last):
Jul 23 15:33:26 localhost handle-sshpw[1834]:   File "/usr/sbin/handle-sshpw", line 51, in <module>
Jul 23 15:33:26 localhost handle-sshpw[1834]:     homedir=ud.homedir, shell=ud.shell, gecos=ud.gecos, root="/")
Jul 23 15:33:26 localhost handle-sshpw[1834]: AttributeError: 'F24_SshPwData' object has no attribute 'homedir'

Expected results:
sshd is running, it's possible to login via ssh as "John".
