travis: Speed up linux kernel downloads.

Browse Source 
CDN links are much faster in average. https://www.kernel.org/
links shows usually less than 10 MB/s, while https://cdn.kernel.org/
could give up to 200 MB/s and usually shows speeds much higher than
10 MB/s. Also, 'xz' archives are 30-50 MB smaller than gzip ones.
It takes a bit more time to unpack them, but it's negligible in
compare with download time.

For exmaple,
  linux-3.16.54.tar.gz - 122064395 (116M)
  linux-3.16.54.tar.xz -  81057528 (77M)

'xz' archive download via CDN link is the default way for kernel
downloading that provided by the kernel.org.

Some exmaples from Travis builds:
Before:

  100%[==========================>] 122,064,395 3.11MB/s   in 36s
  (3.23 MB/s) - 'linux-3.16.54.tar.gz' saved [122064395/122064395]

  100%[==========================>] 157,764,715 7.16MB/s   in 24s
  (6.28 MB/s) - 'linux-4.17.14.tar.gz' saved [157764715/157764715]

After:

  100%[==========================>] 81,057,528  95.0MB/s   in 0.8s
  (95.0 MB/s) - 'linux-3.16.54.tar.xz' saved [81057528/81057528]

  100%[==========================>] 102,195,552  218MB/s   in 0.4s
  (218 MB/s) - 'linux-4.17.14.tar.xz' saved [102195552/102195552]
