iio:light:st_uvis25: Fix timestamp alignment and prevent data leak.
stable inclusion from stable-5.10.4 commit 2409bfd6e34480de1108d978b91f4470f4fcd5c5 bugzilla: 46903 -------------------------------- commit d837a996 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. 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() This data is allocated with kzalloc() so no data can leak apart from previous readings. A local unsigned int variable is used for the regmap call so it is clear there is no potential issue with writing into the padding of the structure.
