sys-kernel/mips-sources: bump to latest 4.4 LTS kernel & 4.8 kernel.

Includes numerous changes to enhance IP27 and IP30 support over the
past few kernel releases.  IP27 still has issues, but should be
usable at this point.

Signed-off-by: Joshua Kinard <kumba@gentoo.org>

Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.3, Repoman-2.3.1
