Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/793389

With the introduction of nvidia-uvm module, unloading nvidia module will fail
unless nvidia-uvm is unloaded.  GH-565 suggests using "remove" or "softdep"
modprobe.d clauses to teach modprobe to handle that for us; "rmmod" does not
have that functionality, so switch to "modprobe -r".
