Environment: GNOME 48/Wayland

Steps to reproduce:

1. Boot computer & log in without external display connected. Do not launch any additional applications that would utilize the Nvidia GPU.
2. After a few seconds, run `cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/power/runtime_status`.
3. Note that it returns `suspended`.
4. Connect an external display to the HDMI port. Runtime status switches to `active` as expected.
5. Unplug the external display.
6. Monitor runtime status.
7. Note that it is stuck on active and will not return to suspended until the computer is rebooted.
