#44685: Expired validation links do not always correctly trigger errors

     Type:  defect (bug)  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  4.9.9
Component:  Privacy       |    Version:  4.9.6
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:  has-patch
  Focuses:                |
--------------------------+-----------------------
 When a user clicks a `confirmaction` link for a privacy request and the
 request is not pending or failed, it should return an error saying `This
 link has expired.`. Currently, the error message is being returned as a
 string and not as a `WP_Error` instance. This is causing a success message
 to display to the user instead of the correct error message.
