What compiler are you using? s_last_error_func is defined to not necessarily be NUL terminated. So strscpy_pad() is not a proper replacement for strncpy() in this use case.
From Documentation/process/deprecated:
If a caller is using non-NUL-terminated strings, strncpy() can still be used, but destinations should be marked with the `__nonstring <https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html>`_ attribute to avoid future compiler warnings.
s_{first,last}_error_func is properly annotated with __nonstring in fs/ext4/ext4.h.
