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.
