MIPS: don't overlay relocation data with BSS
.bss __rel_start (OVERLAY) was used to optimize RAM size used by barebox. Since .bss and __rel_start overlap, we should clear bss only after __rel_start was used. Following patch changed initialization sequence to clear .bss before __rel_start: 1e5aef61fc6a444 ("MIPS: reloc: init bss and cpu") This make relocation buffer unusable and broke relocation with different symptoms reported by Antony Pavlov <antonynpavlov@gmail.com>: * iomem output has no information on sdram regions, so memtest is unusable; * pc = 0xa081232c, relocation does not work, barebox is located with 8M offset from start of RAM. The board has 256M and relocation routine should move barebox code much higher; * pc = 0xa081232c, so barebox code works from KSEG1 not from KSEG0 as MMU=y option implies. There is a choice of moving .bss clear sequence after __rel_start or remove this optimization. Since the use of this optimization is minimal and danger to trap in to similar issue is still high, i prefer to remove this optimization. As result of this change, we need to fix calculation of relocation are size: relocate_code() calculates relocation area size as a sum (barebox_image_size + bss_len). barebox_image_size and bss_len are calculated as (__image_end - __image_start) and (__bss_stop - __bss_start) respectively. This doesn't take into account relocation data placed between __image_end and __bss_start. However relocation preserves BSS position relative to image start, as if relocation data is still there. This causes RAM overflow during BSS initialization in main_entry(). This problem may be hidden due to the alignment of the `relocaddr`.
