I discovered a partial solution to the problem.

I need to unload and then reload the nvidia-uvm module before using ffmpeg:

modprobe -r nvidia-uvm
modprobe nvidia-uvm
ffmpeg ...

It is a strange and only a partial solution but at least it allows me to use
ffmpeg hardware acceleration.

I can't answer why, but it works.
