Touchpad gestures bypass ext-session-lock-v1 session lock

[Xyplixt]

Description

When a session lock is active (using Quickshell with ext-session-lock-v1),
3-finger touchpad gestures defined in the gestures {} config block are still
processed by the compositor. This allows workspace switching or re-triggering
of bound gesture actions while the screen should be fully locked.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up a gesture in gestures {} block, e.g:
   gesture = 3, down, dispatcher, exec, /path/to/lock.sh
2. Lock the screen using a Quickshell lockscreen (ext-session-lock-v1)
3. Perform the same gesture (3-finger swipe down) while locked

Expected behavior

All gestures should be fully inhibited while a session lock is active,
similar to how keyboard shortcuts are inhibited.

Actual behavior

The gesture fires again while locked, spawning a new Quickshell instance
on top of the existing one. Each extra instance consumes additional memory.
Repeated swiping causes significant memory leak via stacked Quickshell processes.

Workaround

Checking pgrep -x "quickshell" at the start of the lock script and
exiting early if already running
