sections: global data can be in .bss
When checking an address is located in a global data section also check for the .bss section as global variables initialized to 0 can be in there (-fzero-initialized-in-bss). This was found when looking at ensure_safe_net_sysctl which was failing to detect non-init sysctl pointing to a global data section when the data was in the .bss section.
