[PATCH] Documentation: Fix size parameter for snprintf (reported by cppcheck)

[Stefan Weil]

cppcheck reports this error:

Documentation/laptops/hpfall.c:33]: (error)
 Dangerous usage of 'devname' (strncpy doesn't always 0-terminate it)

The terminating '\0' is needed for the global char array unload_heads_path,
so never write the last array entry (which is initially '\0').

This is only code in the documentation, nevertheless even there a correction
might help other users.

Cheers and happy new year
