[Bug 1736205] [NEW] Dell latitude E6540 powers off only after switching to console with ctrl+alt+F7

[munbi]

Public bug reported:

After updating from 16.10 to 17.04 the system hangs indefinitely when powering off from Gnome.
After manually switching to console '7' with ctrl+alt+F7 the shutdown procedure resumes and the system powers off correctly.
Reboot is not affected, i.e. the systems resets as expected when choosing 'Restart' instead of 'Power Off' from the Gnome dialog
