iio:adc:ti-adc0832 Fix alignment issue with timestamp
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 an array of smaller elements on the stack. We fix this issues by moving to a suitable structure in the iio_priv() data with alignment explicitly requested. This data is allocated with kzalloc so no data can leak apart from previous readings. Note that previously no data could leak 'including' previous readings but I don't think it is an issue to potentially leak them like this now does. In this case the postioning of the timestamp is depends on what other channels are enabled. As such we cannot use a structure to make the alignment explicit as it would be missleading by suggesting only one possible location for the timestamp.
