Input: gscps2 - return IRQ_NONE when interrupt is not handled
This commit modifies the GSC PS/2 driver to track whether any bytes were
handled during an interrupt and returns the appropriate IRQ status. This
prevents masking unhandled interrupts on a shared line.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but could this unbounded hardware polling loop
cause a hard CPU lockup?
If the PS/2 controller malfunctions and fails to clear the GSC_STAT_RBNE bit
after a read, this loop will never exit. Since gscps2_interrupt runs with
local interrupts disabled, this would freeze the system.
Could we add a bounded iteration guard or retry limit here?
