wifi: nl80211: document channel opmode change channel width
The opmode change notification is entirely unused by existing
userspace except for printing out the values. As such, there's
no need to keep it perfectly accurate, and the implementation
in mac80211 doesn't report it correctly today. Add a note in
the documentation that it may not differentiate 80+80 and 160.
