x86: put global data pointer into the .data section

On x86_64 the field global_data_ptr is assigned before relocation. As
sections for uninitialized global data (.bss) overlap with the relocation
sections (.rela) this destroys the relocation table and leads to spurious
errors.

Initialization forces the global_data_ptr into a section for initialized
global data (.data) which cannot overlap any .rela section.
