iio:imu:bmi160: Fix alignment and data leak issues
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. 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 apart from previous readings. In this driver, depending on which channels are enabled, the timestamp can be in a number of locations. Hence we cannot use a structure to specify the data layout without it being misleading.
