[S390] initrd vs bss section clearing.

Browse Source 
In case the initrd is located within the bss section it will be
overwritten when the section is cleared. To prevent this just move
the initrd right behind the bss section if it starts within the
section.
The current code already moves the initrd if the bootmem allocator
bitmap would overwrite it. With this patch we should be safe against
initrd corruptions.
