Blackfin arch: fix bug kernel not to boot up with mtd filesystems

Revert this patch:
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.

Since it causes the kernel not to boot up with mtd filesystems.
