Summary0004563: bumblebee fails to unload nvidia kernel module after primus exit
Description

When I launch some program with primusrun or optirun and close it,
nvidia kernel module keeps loaded in kernel. Bumblebeed shows this
error on syslog:

Feb 25 12:53:52 Harken bumblebeed[18893]: [ 3106.839895] [ERROR]Failed to unload module 'nvidia' (ref count: 1)

Keeping the kernel module loaded seems to affect battery performance
and temperature of laptop.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Needs an Optimus laptop with bumblebee and bumblebee-nvidia, optionally primus.
  2. Launch some program through optirun or primusrun as so:

$ primusrun glxgears

and then exit the program.

  1. As root, check if nvidia module is still loaded:

lsmod | grep nvidia

Additional Information

I reported same bug in Debian Buster BTS, they suggested the problem may be some lost patch or modprobe script in Kali package:

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x/2017.x/2018.1), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
