You need to have a reason for doing the rounding, otherwise you are wasting
space. What use and what alignment is required by that use should guide your
decision.

The size is going to be aligned up to __static_tls_align_m1 in the next
statement which is the larger of the stack alignment or the maximum alignment
for any given TLS slot (slot minimum alignment is generally 16 bytes).

If you are going to use the extra space for stack then you're fine, the
alignment in the next line has ensured that you get the right size given the
alignment restrictions.
