When booted into the new kernel, got super low resolution and nvidia- settings was missing most of its functionality - could not change resolution. Rebooted into 4.4.0-112 kernel and all was well. The root cause of the problem has been found to be installing the -116 kernel without a sufficiently updated version of gcc. In my case, my system received the gcc update AFTER the kernel update. Uninstalling the -116 kernel and reinstalling it with the updated version of gcc solved the problem for me.
