mutter disables the numlock LED, when a (new) mouse is plugged in

Reproduction steps:

  1. Enable numlock (the LED should be on)
  2. (in case the mouse is already connected, plug out the mouse)
  3. Plug in the mouse

Observation: The LED for numlock will be disabled, numlock however, stays on.

To enable the numlock LED again, press numlock 2 times (2 times because numlock was never disabled)

Expected behaviour: The state of numlock or the numlock LED should not change when a mouse is plugged in.

Affected version: mutter/master, g-s/master (might also affect 3.38 and older, I just discovered some way to reproduce the issue).
