iio:light:ltr501 Fix timestamp alignment issue.
commit 2684d5003490df5398aeafe2592ba9d4a4653998 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 an array of smaller elements on the stack.
Here we use a structure on the stack. The driver already did an
explicit memset so no data leak was possible.
Forced alignment of ts is not strictly necessary but probably makes
the code slightly less fragile.
Note there has been some rework in this driver of the years, so no
way this will apply cleanly all the way back.
