Bug description:
  SRU Request:

  Running the proprietary nvidia drivers in an Optimus config works
  (Intel+NVIDIA), but switching to the guest session results in a black
  screen.

  [Impact]
   * Causes a black screen when switching to the guest session.

  [Test Case]
   * Run xrandr --output SOMEOUTPUT --rotation left
      - Expected: Screen should rotate, or the call should fail.
      - Bad behavior: Succeeds, but causes a black screen.

  [Test Case]
   * Boot the system
   * Switch to guest session from top menu
       - Expected: Switches to the guest session without problems.
       - Actual results: The screen is black, only the cursor is visible in the upper left corner of the screen.

  [Regression Potential]
   * Low, as we already use the patch in Trusty and Utopic.

  [Other Info]
   * N/A
