Title:
[nvidia] Screen frozen after switch to other tty and do login &
logout

Bug description:
To simplify reproduce steps, one only has to:
1. install (tested so far) Ubuntu Bionic
2. switch to other tty by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Fn
3. login and logout
Then it should try to switch back to GDM (no matter you have logged in GUI or
not), triggers vt-switch bug and lock up.
Some more findings:
1. So far we know all other newer Ubuntu versions are immune, e.g.
Ubuntu Cosmic's gdm(version 3.30.1-1ubuntu5).
2. login _and_ logout from another virtual console is required.
Switching between text console and GUI back and forth before logging
out doesn't trigger this bug. So this might(?) also involves systemd-
logind as well;
3. while gdm locked up, kernel and the rest of the system are actually
still alive. Networking is still available, and even the input devices
are still functioning well. Only gdm fails to grab the device inputs.
4. when gdm locks up due to either resume from suspend or vt-switch,
restart gdm (from remote ssh) will bring the system back.

Affected: only gdm(vt-1) fails to grab further input. Use `chvt` to switch to
other vt in a remote shell.
#### Packages:
* kernel:

* gdm3:
* 3.31.4+git20190225-1ubuntu1

Summary: in Ubuntu Disco, nouveau driver is immune from this issue in
all kernel versions tested. In contrary, nVIDIA driver fails every
case.

[1]: no vt-switch inside gnome-shell. Press Ctrl+Alt+Fn in gdm instead. Only
gdm(vt-1) fails to grab further input. Use `chvt` to switch to other vt in a
remote shell.
[2]: vt-switch inside gnome-shell causes lockup. Cannot switch to vt in gdm
(but no system lockup). Only gdm(vt-1) fails to grab further input. Use `chvt`
to switch to other vt in a remote shell.

Summary: only 4.18 kernel with nouveau driver is immune from this
issue, which follows some changes in user land should be necessary to
stabilize all the (nouveau) cases. But even with that, from previous
results of Cosmic/Disco, there should still some works to be done in
the nvidia driver.
