Have your gpio interrupt handler call pm_request_resume() for the host
controller device.

However, this may not do what you want.  Since the root hub will remain
suspended, the host controller will go back to low-power immediately
after it is resumed.  You really need to resume the USB device itself,
not the host controller.

That's a hard question to answer without measurements.  But it 
shouldn't matter, because you probably won't get more than one wakeup 
per second, right?
