wifi: cfg80211: correct comment about MLD ID
The comment was referencing the wrong section of the documentation and was also subtly wrong as it assumed the rules that apply when sending probe requests directly to a nontransmitted AP. However, in that case the response comes from the transmitting AP and the AP MLD ID will be included.
