The idea is that the caller of this vDSO API is C callable, hence it
cannot receive TCS in %rbx anyway. Then it has to either MOV to %rbx or
PUSH to stack. Either way the complexity is the same. The vDSO API
however has to always save it on stack for exit handler. So receiving it
via stack ends up in simplest code.
