[Bug 1723994] [NEW] Keyboard plugged in to monitor USB hub does not work at password prompt

[Dan Watkins]

Public bug reported:

I have my external keyboard plugged in to my monitor's USB hub.  Unless
I unplug and replug the USB cable that connects the monitor hub to my
machine, I can't use my keyboard on boot.
