Patch for 440.44 for kernel 5.5

Hi, I have prepared patches for nvidia modules versions 418.88 (not in tree anymore but it is the last my card is supported so I use it) and 440.40 (which is based on patch 418.88 but one hunk was removed) to make it working with gentoo-sources-5.5.*.

In src_prepare add following lines:

    if use kernel_linux && kernel_is ge 5 5; then
        einfo "Patching files for kernels higher than 5.4"
        eapply ${FILESDIR}/${P}-linux_5.5_comp.patch
    fi

before command 'default'

I did not test it with two other versions in the tree: 430.64-r1 and 435.21-r1, but either version of the patches should be working.

Regards,
Rafał
