I've checked the code, and surprisingly it supports you already:
revert-buffer does exactly what you want. Tramp has hooked into
before-revert-hook, removing cached properties of buffer-file-name. So
there is even no need for you to close the buffer, "M-x revert-buffer"
shall be sufficient.

I've managed to forget this completely.

Additionally, you've convinced me to add this functionality to
kill-buffer-hook as well.
