iio:magnetometer:ak8975 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 structure in the iio_priv() data. This data is allocated with kzalloc so no data can leak apart from previous readings. The explicit alignment of ts is not necessary in this case as by coincidence the padding will end up the same, however I consider it to make the code less fragile and have included it.
