Armin Wolf 7cd682b027 hwmon: (dell-smm) Reword and mark parameter "force" as unsafe
When enabling said module parameter, the driver ignores
all feature blacklists on relevant models, which has the
potential for strange side effects. Also there seems to
be a slight chance for unsupported devices to behave
badly when probed for features.
In such cases, the kernel should be tainted to inform
people that these issues might have been caused by
the dell_smm_hwmon driver with "force" enabled.
Also reword the parameter description to remind users
that enabling "force" also enables blacklisted features.

Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.
