When you get certain kernel updates (ABI bumps) the modules need to
be recompiled. There is every attempt made to make sure these are
done in sync for the stable release, but sometimes you don't get
all of the packages installed at once. Could you check that you
have the correct modules package installed, via something like

  dpkg -l linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)

(this checks that the linux-restricted-modules package, which contains
the nvidia kernel bits, that matches your currently running kernel
is installed)

Thanks,

James
