[PATCH xserver] xkb: after changing the keymap, force an indicator update

When NumLock is on and a new keymap is applied, the next modifier state change
will turn off that LED (but leave the state enabled). The cause for this is a
bit convoluted:
* the SLI explicitState is copied from the current state in
ProcXkbGetKbdByName. Thus, if NumLock is on, that state is 0x2.
* on the next modifier key press (e.g. Shift), XkbApplyState() calls into
XkbUpdateIndicators() -> XkbUpdateLedAutoState() to update SLIs (if any) for
the currently changed modifier. But it does so with a mask only for the
changed modifier (i.e. for Shift).
* XkbUpdateLedAutoState() calculates the state based on this mask and
ends up with 0 because we don't have a Shift LED and we masked out the
others.
* XkbUpdateLedAutoState() compares that state with the previous state (which
is still 0x2) and then proceeds to turn the LED off
This doesn't happen in the normal case because either the mask encompasses all
modifiers or the state matches of the masked-out modifiers matches the old
state.
Avoid this issue by forcing an SLI update after changing the keymap. This
updates the sli->effectiveState and thus restores everything to happy working
order.
