Bug description:
  Note: without fix be landed , nvidia driver online update could be
  failed.

  nvidia-375.postinst not always build initramfs by default:
  "
          ALTERNATIVE=$(readlink /etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf)
          if [ "$ALTERNATIVE" = "/usr/lib/nvidia-375/ld.so.conf" ]; then
              # Update initramfs so that the blacklist ends up in the initramfs
              if [ -x /usr/sbin/update-initramfs ]; then
                  /usr/sbin/update-initramfs -u
  "

  it the case of user who are using intel then update driver from
  nvidia-375.20 to nvidia-375.82 will get screen dark after prime-select
  nvidia later.

  syslog:
  "
  NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 375.20 Tue Nov 15 16:49:10 PST 2016 (using threaded interrupts)
  ......
  NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 375.82, but
  NVRM: this kernel module has the version 375.20. Please
  NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
  NVRM: components have the same version.
  "

  The root cause is the nvidia kernel module in initramfs not be updated
  in this case.
