Well, it's difficult to consider this to be a regression. With default
settings (USB autosuspend turned off), the system behaves the same way as
it did before (ie. no mouse autosuspend).

That's because it got suspended, as you have configured it to do so.

Which is expected behavior.
Your mouse (as many other mice out there) doesn't emit wakeup event on
movement, it only does on button click. There is nothing kernel can do
about it. This is one of the reasons why autosuspend is disabled by
default (other reason being many devices broken beyond hope when it comes
to waking up).
