For this case, I think hid_suspend() needs to test whether wakeup is
enabled and a key is pressed. If both of those are true, we should
call pm_wakeup_event(). We should not call pm_wakeup_event() if wakeup
is not enabled.
I'm afraid that some drivers might return -EBUSY when they shouldn't,
that is, when wakeup is not enabled or a wakeup condition is not
present. (The core can test udev->do_remote_wakeup but it can't test
for a wakeup condition.) If we can guarantee that this never happens
then yes, usb_suspend_interface() could call pm_wakeup_event().
On the other hand, for the particular case of a usb keyboard, I'm not
sure this is the right thing to do. Suppose you try to suspend the
system by typing "echo ram >/sys/power/state" and pressing Enter.
Before you can release the Enter key, the suspend will fail. You'd
have to type something like "sleep 1 ; echo ram >/sys/power/state".

I don't think that makes much difference. When the system is going to
sleep, people don't expect it to react quickly to anything.
