What is wrong with it?

oldaddr + 4 - align;
can also be read:
oldaddr + (4 - align);

as well as
16 - 4 + align;
can also be read
16 - (4 - align);
as when we remove the parenthesis, the - sign invert the parenthesis
elements signs.

Calculating (4 - align) previously thus preserve the logic here!

It's true that I didn't add a new temporary variable here but instead
re-used one that is not used after, but I thought it went in the same
idea as the rest of this patch. Should I separate that as another
patch?
