GPU devices have wrong SELinux context after reboot server in CentOS and AlmaLinux

GPU devices show the wrong SELinux context after the server restarts and cannot be used without restoring the context with restorecon.

ls -Z /dev/nvi*
crw-rw-rw-. root root system_u:object_r:xserver_misc_device_t:s0 /dev/nvidia0
crw-rw-rw-. root root system_u:object_r:xserver_misc_device_t:s0 /dev/nvidia1

crw-rw-rw-. root root system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 /dev/nvidia-uvm-tools

The right context is set after running restorecon.

$ ls -Z /dev/nvi*
crw-rw-rw-. root root system_u:object_r:xserver_misc_device_t:s0 /dev/nvidia0
crw-rw-rw-. root root system_u:object_r:xserver_misc_device_t:s0 /dev/nvidia1
