Update. I tried with net-next and qemu master. Interestingly, the result
is different from yours. The network is lost even if the virtio_net
interface is up before suspending.

Host: Ubuntu 16.04 with net-next kernel (default configuration)
Guest: Ubuntu 18.04 with net-next kernel (default configuration)
Qemu: master
Qemu command:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -m 2048 -enable-kvm \
-bios /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd \
-drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/virtio_test.qcow2,if=virtio \
-netdev user,id=hostnet0 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0 \
-device VGA,id=video0,vgamem_mb=16 \
-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 \
-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 -monitor stdio

I will think about the proper reason first.
