Incorrect memory usage for nvidia driver higher than R510

See original GitHub issue

When I update my nvidia driver to 515.76, gpustat always shows there are 308MB memory used even no process using gpus. But nvidia-smi shows there are no memory being used, so I am very confused…

Here is my environment: ubuntu 18.04 gpustat 1.0.0 nvidia-driver 515.76 kernel 4.15.0-171-generic

And here are the outputs of nvidia-smi and gpustat: nvidia-smi gpustat
