When 'system_reset' is called, the main loop clear the memory
region cache before the BH has a chance to execute. Later when
the deferred function is called, some assumptions that were
made when scheduling them are no longer true when they actually
execute.
This is what happens using a virtio-blk device (fresh RHEL7.8 install):
$ (sleep 12.3; echo system_reset; sleep 12.3; echo system_reset; sleep 1; echo q) \
| qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G -smp 8 -boot menu=on \
-device virtio-blk-pci,id=image1,drive=drive_image1 \
-drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel78.qcow2,if=none,id=drive_image1,format=qcow2,cache=none \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,id=nic0,mac=52:54:00:c4:e7:84 \
-netdev tap,id=net0,script=/bin/true,downscript=/bin/true,vhost=on \
-monitor stdio -serial null -nographic

Fix this by cancelling the BH when the virtio dataplane is stopped.
[This is version of the patch was modified as discussed with Philippe on
the mailing list thread.
