Enabling multiple displays with Thinkpad P52

When switching to power save mode nvidia disables the graphics card multiple display support.

It does not enable it back when switching to performance mode. This was done by creating a file in /lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-kms.conf and setting modeset to 1.

We can revert this change by changing the modeset to 0 or commenting this line. After rebooting, the external display works again.
