nvidia_linux: Add patch for Version 340.xx Linux 4.9.x
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We've already had this patch in Version 340.98 for Linux 4.9.8 but
beginning with 340.101 for Linux 4.9.9 it was left out.

The patch is still required.

The symptom is, that the driver fails to load and (sometimes, but not
everytime) a message like

insmod: ERROR: could not insert module
   /usr/share/nvidia/kernel/4.9.17.mx64.145/legacy5/nvidia.ko:
   No such device

in dmesg.
