[PATCH 1/2] x86-64/setcontext: Pop the pointer into %rdx after syscall


To prepare for shadow stack support, pop the pointer into %rdx after
syscall and use %rdx, instead of %rsi, to restore context.  There is
no functional change.

Any comments?

H.J.

	Pop the pointer into %rdx after syscall and use %rdx, instead
	of %rsi, to restore context.
