Blackfin arch: move the init sections to the end of memory to help decrease memory fragementation

move the init sections to the end of memory, so that after they
are free, run time memory is all continugous - this should help decrease
memory fragementation. When doing this, we also pack some of the other
sections a little closer together, to make sure we don't waste memory.
To make this happen, we need to rename the .data.init_task section to
.init_task.data, so it doesn't get picked up by the linker script glob.
