Since it doesn't seem like installing is helping I guess you could try to manually download the kernel, extract the files then copy the file over manually.
Download the kernel to the /tmp directory:
cd /tmp
apt download linux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic
Next, extract the files from the downloaded .deb file:
ar -x linux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic_4.4.0-116.140_amd64.deb
Now, extract the data.tar.gz contents:
tar xvf data.tar.gz
Now you should be able to copy the missing file back to your folder.
sudo cp /tmp/lib/modules/4.4.0-116-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko /lib/modules/4.4.0-116-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/
Thank you @Olorin for a cool one string command after you download the kernel file using dpkg-deb to extract the one file and put it in the designation folder:
dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile linux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic_4.4.0-116.140_amd64.deb | sudo tar xv ./lib/modules/4.4.0-116-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko -C /
Then clean up your /tmp folder or a reboot will clean it:
Hope this helps!

@Olorin I understand that. But I test all commands before I put them in my answers. Unfortunately, that does not work. Even when I try to extract only the file from the tar.bz2 file it tells me file not found, but when I extract all the contents of it, the file is there and I can copy it.

Simply reinstall the package that contains the file.
To find what package contains /lib/modules/4.4.0-116-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko, run:
dpkg -S /lib/modules/4.4.0-116-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
This should output (in your case):
linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic: /lib/modules/4.4.0-116-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
Simply reinstall the package:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic
If this does not fix it:
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic

Thanks, I ran the dpkg command but the ../usbserial.ko path doesn't exist. Maybe something else somehow installed it?
– Elijah Lynn
Mar 23 at 2:01
Oh, I manually entered the path and it did returnlinux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic: /lib/modules/4.4.0-116-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.koas you said. However the --reinstall command completed successfully but the file doesn't exist still. I did delete the file after I overwrote it incorrectly.

Simply reinstall the package that contains the file.
To find what package contains /lib/modules/4.4.0-116-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko, run:
dpkg -S /lib/modules/4.4.0-116-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
This should output (in your case):
linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic: /lib/modules/4.4.0-116-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
Simply reinstall the package:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic
If this does not fix it:
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic

Simply reinstall the package:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic
If this does not fix it:
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic

Thanks, I ran the dpkg command but the ../usbserial.ko path doesn't exist. Maybe something else somehow installed it?

Oh, I manually entered the path and it did returnlinux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic: /lib/modules/4.4.0-116-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.koas you said. However the --reinstall command completed successfully but the file doesn't exist still. I did delete the file after I overwrote it incorrectly.
