[aur-general] nvidia-ice needs to be updated

[Cian Mc Govern]

I considered doing that but the package would need to be updated more
often to allow for changes to patches and I think that would be an
unnecessary inconvenience for anyone that is using nvidia-all but not
using linux-mainline. It doesn't make a huge difference overall to me
so I don't mind maintaining them as seperate packages.
