Input: mousedev - move /deb/input/mice to teh correct minor

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx>

When doing conversion to dynamic input numbers I inadvertently moved
/dev/input/mice form c,13,63 to c,13,31. We need to fix this so that
setups with statically populated /dev continue working.
