Bug Description

When cryptsetup presents the password challenge at boot, it does not provide any indication if Caps Lock is on (as, for example, the GDM login screen does). This has caused my colleages and I issues entering out encryption password, as the caps lock indicator on our laptop keyboards does not show at this point in the boot process.

Steps to reproduce:
* Boot a system with an encrypted drive
* At the cryptsetup password prompt, press the capslock key
* EXPECTED: An indication is shown if caps lock is on.
* ACTUAL: No indication is shown.
