trivial: doc: hpfall: accept disk device to unload as argument
Allows users who use an IDE driver for their disk to use hpfall without having to modify the source. By default /dev/sda is used. Suggested by Christian Thaeter in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/25/505. While we're add it, improve error message if opening /dev/freefall fails.
