Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * It should be possible to change DRM driver without rebooting.
   * It should be possible to correctly suspend & resume, whilst preserving driver state.
   * This bug is for userspace/logind fixes, required to get above working.
   * Related kernel change is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1778658
   * https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/5775b843a619b3c93f946e2b55a208d9f0f48b59

  [Test Case]

   * Test and verify that on machines with Nvidia discrete graphics, one
  can change performance/power-saving modes without rebooting.

  [Regression Potential]

   * There are changes to the fd handling that are passed to logind. At
  worst, fd to the NVIDIA driver will still be held, and thus one would
  continue to not be able to switch graphics modes without rebooting.

  [Other Info]
   
   * original bug report:

  refer to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6908

  we need that solution to make NVIDIA dGPU switching works.
