It does not really fix any user visible behavior. This is just something which
I noticed while looking at all LED trigger activate callbacks because of some
LED core patches I was writing.

The code before this patch gets the job done, it syncs the VT capslock/numlock/etc
status to the LEDs of a newly registered input device.

But it also ends up calling led_set_brightness() on all already registered
capslock/numlock/etc LEDs which is not necessary.

So this is just a small optimization, not a bug fix.

Hans
