Ok, I found the cause: I had the meta package linux-image-generic
installed, but not the metapackage linux-generic. For that reason, when
kernel was upgraded the package with the kernel headers wasn't upgraded,
and that caused the issue (that of course disappeared reverting to the
previous kernel version)
After installing the metapackage linux-generic I managed to update to
the new kernel and the nvidia drivers worked as supposed.
So, this bug report can be closed, sorry for wasting your time

Title:
Kernel linux-image-4.4.0-186-generic and nvidia drivers
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
After updating my kernel to linux-image-4.4.0-186-generic yesterday in
Ubuntu 16.04, the screen resolution dropped, because it stopped using
the nvidia drivers.
After reverting back to linux-image-4.4.0-185-generic all got back to
normality.
