    wifi: cfg80211: correct comment about MLD ID
    
    [ Upstream commit 2a0698f86d4dfc43cc0c1703efb7ba6b1506a4e2 ]
    
    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.
