hwmon: (w83627hf) Drop the force_addr module parameter

This module parameter is there to workaround broken BIOS. I'm not even
sure if it was used in the past 5 years, and it gets in the way of
converting the driver to the MFD infrastructure. So tell the users how
they can do the same from user-space.
