Thanks @socratis, to reply the link with the solution for the issue:
vboxdrv: version magic '4.4.0-116-generic SMP mod_unload modversions ' should be '4.4.0-116-generic SMP mod_unload modversions retpoline '
To resolve the above issue only need to following the instructions gave by @matpen.
$ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) 5.4.0 20160609
Then after removing and reinstalling the 4.4.0-116 kernel, modprobe gave us right answer.
$ sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-4.4.0-116 linux-headers-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic linux-signed-image-4.4.0-116-generic
$ sudo apt-get install linux-generic linux-signed-generic
A reboot system running and check the vergmacic:
$ modinfo vboxdrv | grep vermagic
vermagic: 4.4.0-116-generic SMP mod_unload modversions retpoline
After this virtualbox works fine again.
