CBFS: Change how the bss is zeroed when loading a stage.
For reasons explained in a previous CL, it might be necessary to "load" a file from CBFS in place. The loading code in CBFS was, however, zeroing the area of memory the stage was about to be loaded into. When the CBFS data is located elsewhere this works fine, but when it isn't you end up clobbering the data you're trying to load. Also, there's no reason to zero memory we're about to load something into or have just loaded something into. This change makes it so that we only zero out the portion of the memory between what was loaded/decompressed and the final size of the stage in memory.
