nvidia-utils: Create device nodes via nvidia-modprobe

This is a more proper way to create device nodes. This is also due to the fact that starting with 545 NVIDIA renamed some of their nodes from nvidia-frontend to just nvidia (which is what nvidia-modprobe creates). Using nvidia-modprobe in the future will also avoid update issues if nvidia wants to rename something again and various annoying log messages (like exit code 1, etc).
