[Linux] WebGL doesn't seem to use dmabuf on recent NVIDIA drivers, follow up from Bug 1978911.

This is follow up from Bug 1924578. Andrew, do you think we can try to enable WebGL/dmabuf again for NVIDIA for recent drivers?
I think we may enable for nightly only for beginning.
Thanks.

What exactly are you proposing? Just use the latest driver versions, e.g. from https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/, and try it on nightly to see what shakes out? As of writing, that would mean allowing for >= 580.76.05 for recent GPUs, and >= 470.256.02 for legacy GPUs?

Yes, exactly.

Attachment: Bug 1981326 - Update NVIDIA blocklist to allow DMABUF with WebGL on most recent drivers in nightly.

Many bugs have been fixed since we last attempted to ship DMABUF with
WebGL. This patch has no impact on beta/release/esr channels.
