We already have that: xfs_inode_alloc_unitsize().

Have the code get that value, then do all the alignment based on
whether it is allocation unit size > mp->m_sb.sb_blocksize. Then all
the calculations are generic and not dependent on forcealign or rt,
but on whether the inode requires multi-block contiguous extent
alignment....

i.e.
alloc_size = xfs_inode_alloc_unitsize(ip);
if (alloc_size > mp->m_sb.sb_blocksize) {
/* do aligned allocation setup stuff */
.....
}
....

No code should be doing "if (forcealign) ... else if (realtime) ..."
branching for alignment purposes. All the code should all be
generic based on the value xfs_inode_alloc_unitsize() returns.
