wifi: mac80211: set band information only for non-MLD when probing stations using NULL frame

Currently, when sending a NULL frame to probe a station, the band
information is derived from the chanctx_conf in the mac80211 vif's
bss_conf. However, for AP MLD, chanctx_conf is not assigned to the
vif's bss_conf; instead it is assigned on a per-link basis. As a result,
for AP MLD, sending a NULL packet to probe will trigger a warning.

For NULL packets sent to probe stations, set the band information only
for non-MLD, since MLD transmissions does not rely on band.
