iio:light:si1145: Fix timestamp alignment and prevent data leak.
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.
