PATCH 1/1 common: fix behavior of ROUND macro when input is already rounded

Currently when you call ROUND with a value that is already a multiple of the second parameter it will return a value that is one multiple larger, instead of returning the value passed in.

There are only two types of usage of ROUND currently, one in various config files to round CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN to a multiple of 4096 bytes. The other in cmd_sf.c where the incorrect behavior of ROUND is worked around be subtracting one from the length argument before passing it to ROUND.

This patch fixes ROUND and removes the workaround from cmd_sf. It also results in all of the malloc pools that use ROUND to compute their size shrinking by 4KB.

I'm not sure if it makes sense to go and add 4KB to each malloc pool effected. What do other people think? I'd be happy to make a v2 that does that. This just seemed like a cleaner v1 to start with.
