Depending on the state of @compatible, we are going to do different
things with our @to buffer.

When @compatible is true we want a NUL-term'd and NUL-padded destination
buffer. Conversely, if @compatible is false we just want a space-padded
destination buffer (no NUL-term required).

As per:
/**
 * scsi_dev_info_list_add_keyed - add one dev_info list entry.
 * @compatible: if true, null terminate short strings.  Otherwise space pad.
...

Note that we can't easily use `strtomem_pad` here as the size of the @to
buffer is unknown to the compiler due to indirection layers.

Now, the intent of the code is more clear (I probably didn't even need
to add a comment -- that's how clear it is).

A rare case of the padding intent being expressed! :)

Yeah, this is much nicer to read.

(Some day I want to rename "memcpy_and_pad" ... the "and" seems
verbose...)
