Yes, simply suspend and resume.

Here is how I trigger the issue:

1) Start the Virtual Machine Manager GUI program.
2) Create a guest Linux OS. Make sure that the guest OS kernel is
>= 4.12. Make sure that it uses virtio_net as its network device.
In addition, make sure that the video adapter is VGA. Otherwise,
waking up with the virtual power button does not work.
3) After installing the guest OS, log in, and test the network
connectivity by ping the host machine.
4) Suspend. After this, the screen is blank.
5) Resume by hitting the virtual power button. The login screen
appears again.
6) Log in again. The guest loses its network connection.

In my test:
Guest: Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 with kernel 4.15.0-36-generic
Host: Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.15.0-36-generic/4.4.0-137-generic

The issue disappears if I move netif_tx_disable() under the check of
netif_running() in virtnet_freeze_down(). Moving netif_tx_disable()
is probably better as its logic is consistent with
netif_device_attach() implementation. If you are OK with this idea,
I will submit another patch.
