No, if audio is the third client, vga_switcheroo_ready() is *not* true
because vgasr_priv.active is true.  This is set to true once the two
GPUs and the handler have registered.  If the audio device registers
afterwards, vga_switcheroo_enable() will already have been called.
It's never called twice because it sets vgasr_priv.active = true.

As a result, the audio device is stuck at VGA_SWITCHEROO_UNKNOWN_ID.
