commit 0456ecf34d466261970e0ff92b2b9c78a4908637 upstream.

One of a class of bugs pointed out by Lars in a recent review.
iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp assumes the buffer used is aligned
to the size of the timestamp (8 bytes).  This is not guaranteed in
this driver which uses a 24 byte array of smaller elements on the stack.
As Lars also noted this anti pattern can involve a leak of data to
userspace and that indeed can happen here.  We close both issues by
moving to a suitable array in the iio_priv() data with alignment
explicitly requested.  This data is allocated with kzalloc so no
data can leak appart from previous readings.

Depending on the enabled channels, the  location of the timestamp
can be at various aligned offsets through the buffer.  As such we
any use of a structure to enforce this alignment would incorrectly
suggest a single location for the timestamp.  Comments adjusted to
express this clearly in the code.
