Suricata does support re-reading it's configuration files and therfore we need to restart it, if one or more ruleset files should be loaded or not loaded anymore.
If simple some rules inside the same files are activated or deactivated we are still fine to call the reload method to send suricata the signal to reload its ruleset.
Fixes #12340.
