pass info where request stems from to have rules applied

For the decision on whether to instantiate the rules, the check for a
pending IP address learn request is not sufficient since then only the
thread could instantiate the rules. So, a boolean needs to be passed
when the thread instantiates the filter rules late and the IP address
learn request is still pending in order to override the check for the
pending learn request. If the rules are to be updated while the thread
is active, this will not be done immediately but the thread will do that
later on.
