x86: Clear .brk area at early boot
The .brk section has the same properties as .bss: it is an alloc-only section and should be cleared before being used. Not doing so is especially a problem for Xen PV guests, as the hypervisor will validate page tables (check for writable page tables and hypervisor private bits) before accepting them to be used. Make sure .brk is initially zero by letting clear_bss() clear the brk area, too.
