[Bug 1716587] [NEW] Holding shift while booting disables password input

[Mark A Gerads]

Public bug reported:

The first character of my password may start with a shifted character.
When booting, one might expect to save time by having the shift key
already pressed down, but when the password prompt to unlock the
partition appears, the keyboard seems to no longer work unless the
system is rebooted.

Description:	Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya
Release:	18.2

cryptsetup version: 2:1.6.6-5ubuntu2
