This change causes the loader to ignore any driver located in the system-wide registries when a driver is located in a device-specific location. This resolves an issue where an old driver can get left on a system but has no corresponding GPU and never gets updated. Previously, that scenario would cause a crash Change-Id: I42a7cfe34b25f546383ce598e6a6de52b2fad0a2
