Hi King, 
 You question tag says that you are using nrf51822 and then you confused me saying that you are using SDK0.9.1 (which is for nRF52) 
 You can just use directed advertising and implement BLE_ADV_EVT_PEER_ADDR_REQUEST.
Please read about the advertising module here and use directed advertising instead of whitelist if you just want to send advertising to one know (unbonded) central 
 If you still want to use whitelist, then you can do it, but in your above code snippet, what happens is, that when the Advertising module asks your app for whitelist , your app is asking device manager to provide that info. That means that device manager will give the already bonded peers as whitelist. I think that is not what you intend. Instead of asking device manager, you need to construct your whitelist with the central address-
