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).
