145ms does sound like a long time.
You should be able to get precise timings by putting a printk in various
parts of the code and ensuring the kernel logs are getting precise timestamps.

Then you could see if the delay is between resume starting and the ISR
running, or between the ISR and the gpio_work_func getting scheduled.

I assume that you don't have ->debounce_interval set....

If the ISR is running soon enough, it might be possible to read the GPIO from
the ISR - I think that would be a cleaner solution.

If not, then you will need something that interpolates an extra key press.
In that case I would suggest my original patch - it seems simpler than yours
and doesn't make a special case out of suspend.  As Dmitry said, any delay
could cause a problem. 
My patch simply ensures that there is at least one button event for each
interrupt by generating an extra event for the inverse of the current button
position.  If that state had already been noticed, the input subsystem will
filter the extra event out so it won't be visible elsewhere.

For reference, my original patch is below.

NeilBrown

[PATCH] Input: gpio_keys - ensure we don't miss key-presses during resume.

If the latency of resume means we don't poll the key status until
after it has been released, we can lose the keypress which woke the
device.

So on each interrupt, record that a press is pending, and in that
case, report both the up and down event, ordered such that the second
event is that one that reflects the current state.

One event will normally be swallowed by the input layer if there was
no change, but the result will be that every interrupt will produce at
least one event.
