Restart != Reload. You can even do it using SQL.

Why do you want to double restrict the access? We already have HBA.
Also, you could complicate the management because you need to check two
different service configurations to figure out why foo user can't log
in. I'm not a PAM expert but my impression is that rhost is an optional
item. Therefore, advise PAM users to use HBA is a way to not complicate
the actual feature.
