iio:gyro:itg3200: Fix timestamp alignment and prevent data leak.
commit 10ab7cf 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 a 16 byte array of smaller elements on the stack. This is fixed by using an explicit c structure. As there are no holes in the structure, there is no possiblity of data leakage in this case. The explicit alignment of ts is not strictly necessary but potentially makes the code slightly less fragile. It also removes the possibility of this being cut and paste into another driver where the alignment isn't already true.
