You can't revert to the previous kernel using the official repos. What you can do is go back to the original 4.4.x kernel from your install media. All updates for slackware are kept in the "patches" folder, while the packages from that release are in "slackware64". You can uninstall the kernel-* packages, install them from the installation media, and then copy the vmlinuz file to your boot partition. After, that you just rebuild the nvidia-kernel package and you are set.
Also note that you can run on nouveau with your card. From what I saw everything worked fine, there was just an issue specific to google earth. The bug has already been fixed, but nvidia still hasn't rolled that into their legacy drivers yet.
