rmodule: correct ordering of bss clearing
This patch fixes an issue for rmodules which are copied into memory
at the final load/link location. If the bss section is cleared for
that rmodule the relocation could not take place properly since the
relocation information was wiped by act of clearing the bss. The
reason is that the relocation information resides at the same
address as the bss section. Correct this issue by performing the
relocation before clearing the bss.
