I can not reproduce this issue if virtio-net interface is up in guest
before the suspend. I'm using net-next.git and qemu master. But I do
reproduce when virtio-net interface is down in guest before suspend,
after resume, even if I make it up, the network is still lost.

I think the interface is up in your case, but please confirm this.

I think the it helps for the case when interface is down before suspend.
But it's still unclear why it help even if the interface is up
(netif_running() is true).

Please submit a patch but we should figure out why it help for a up
interface as well.

Thanks
