Unable to switch back to nvidia graphic chip after reboot.

Switching graphics does not requires reboot, but it does cause issue when user had to reboot for some reason, and will not able to use nvidia graphic until reboot.

Step to reporduce:

Switch to intel integrated graphic driver first if you were not,
open nvidia settings from dash or use following command:
$ sudo prime-select intel
then reboot

Expected result:

Able to switch back to nvidia graphic chip using nvidia settings.

Actuall result:

unable to swich back to nvidia driver, the 3D controller disapeared in pci list.

Workaround:

Shutdown the system then turn on, the 3D controller will be back.
