iio: light: vcnl4000: Fix buffer alignment in iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp()

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit dce793c0ab00c35039028fdcd5ce123805a01361 ]

Add __aligned(8) to ensure the buffer passed to
iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() is suitable for the naturally
aligned timestamp that will be inserted.

Here an explicit structure is not used, because the holes would
necessitate the addition of an explict memset(), to avoid a kernel
data leak, making for a less minimal fix.

Found during an audit of all callers of iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp()
