It is useful to be able to build the latest rc kernel, so
add support for it.

With kernel 4.8-rc5 we no longer need to use the "CONFIG_SMP=n" workaround
as the reboot issue has been fixed upstream by commit 059e232089e4
("irqchip/gic: Allow self-SGIs for SMP on UP configurations")

Adding this is not good if you don't update the
BR2_DEFAULT_KERNEL_HEADERS option. With this change, if an user selects
BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_4_8, he will get a build error as it will try to
download linux-.tar.bz2.

So I've dropped this chunk. It will be added once 4.8 final is
released, together with the BR2_DEFAULT_KERNEL_HEADERS change.

I've also updated the commit log to be more explanatory.

Thanks!

Thomas
