ext4: fix string copying in parse_apply_sb_mount_options()

Browse Source 
strscpy_pad() can't be used to copy a non-NUL-term string into a NUL-term
string of possibly bigger size.  Commit 0efc5990bc ("string.h: Introduce
memtostr() and memtostr_pad()") provides additional information in that
regard.  So if this happens, the following warning is observed:

strnlen: detected buffer overflow: 65 byte read of buffer size 64

Since userspace is expected to provide s_mount_opts field to be at most 63
characters long with the ending byte being NUL-term, use a 64-byte buffer
which matches the size of s_mount_opts, so that strscpy_pad() does its job
properly.  Return with error if the user still managed to provide a
non-NUL-term string here.
