FYI, I did apply this patch for PG 10:
commit 10c064ce4dad088ba2d8b978bff6009b9f22dc3aAuthor: Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us>Date:   Tue Oct 25 11:26:15 2016
-0400   Consistently mention 'SELECT pg_reload_conf()' in config files    Previously we only mentioned SIGHUP and
'pg_ctlreload' in    postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf.
