[slurm-users] gres/gpu count lower than reported

I have found that the "reason" field doesn't get updated after you correct
the issue.  For me, its only when I move the node back to the idle state,
that the reason field is then reset.  So, assuming /dev/nvidia[0-3] is
correct (I've never seen otherwise with nvidia GPUs), then try taking them
back into the idle state.  Also, keep an eye on the slurmctld and slurmd
logs.  They usually are quite helpful to highlight what the issue is.
