Subject: [PATCH] DocBook: Do not exceed argument list limit
Use find + xargs to compress the generated manpages. Without this patch,
the build can fail with
gzip -f Documentation/DocBook/man/*.9
/bin/bash: /usr/bin/gzip: Argument list too long
This happened with qemu user mode emulation on aarch64.
