The iio_generic_buffer can return garbage values when the total size of
scan data is not a multiple of the largest element in the scan. This can be
demonstrated by reading a scan, consisting, for example of one 4-byte and
one 2-byte element, where the 4-byte element is first in the buffer.

The IIO generic buffer code does not take into account the last two
padding bytes that are needed to ensure that the 4-byte data for next
scan is correctly aligned.

Add the padding bytes required to align the next sample with the scan size.
