[PATCH] kbuild: modinst: Enable multithread xz compression

As it's done for zstd compression, enable multithread compression for
xz to speed up module installation.

On my setup xz is a bottleneck during module installation. Here are the
numbers to install it in a local directory, before and after this patch:

$ time make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/home/tonyk/codes/.kernel_deploy/ modules_install -j16
Executed in 100.08 secs

$ time make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/home/tonyk/codes/.kernel_deploy/ modules_install -j16
Executed in 28.60 secs
