Nvidia_load not working

[Tomoaki AOKI]

I suspect loader.efi issue rather than that you mentioned.

  https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-11/2016-September/000503.html

nvidia.ko is loaded as a dependency of nvidia-modeset.ko, so if
nvidia.ko failed to load, nvidia-modeset.ko should fail as well.
