[keycloak-user] Brute Force Detection issue: login failure count not resetting after successful login

[Marek Posolda]

I am not 100% sure about all the details of the Brute Force Detection. 
However in case that user is already "temporarily disabled" or 
"permanently disabled", then after successful login he will still be 
disabled. If he is not already disabled before successful login, then 
the successful login should reset the failure count.
