Description

When running forum_migrate_course_from_mongodb_to_mysql --no-toggle all, I got the following stack trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This was caused because one of the threads of the read states does not exist in the MongoContent table.
The exception is raised by the first() function after the find here:

                    mongo_content = MongoContent.objects.filter(
                        mongo_id=thread_id
                    ).first()
