nl80211: document NL80211_BSS_STATUS_AUTHENTICATED isn't used
The flag is no longer used (and hasn't been for a long time) since trying to track authentication (and make decisions based on state) was just causing issues all over - see commit 95de817b9034d50860319f6033ec85d25024694c. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
