[PATCH v6 1/7] iio: make IIO_DMA_MINALIGN minimum of 8 bytes

Add a condition to ensure that IIO_DMA_MINALIGN is at least 8 bytes.
On some 32-bit architectures, IIO_DMA_MINALIGN is 4. In many cases,
drivers are using this alignment for buffers that include a 64-bit
timestamp that is used with iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts(), which expects
the timestamp to be aligned to 8 bytes. To handle this, we can just make
IIO_DMA_MINALIGN at least 8 bytes.

v6 changes:
- Removed the #if and use MAX instead since apparently clang raises an
error that __alignof__ isn't defined when used in a #if condition.
