Install Linux Kernel 4.8.9 on Manjaro 16.10

Linux Kernel 4.8.9 is available through Manjaro System Settings. I am not pretty sure if upgrading to this new Kernel is necessary, but here I want to show you how to upgrade or install Kernel 4.8.9 on Manjaro 16.10. I am using Manjaro 16.10 Budgie edition. All works pretty well but I am not guarantee that this will also produce the same result with different Manjaro version and edition.
