mac80211: fix scan band off-by-one error

Browse Source 
When checking for the next band to advance to, there
was an off-by-one error that could lead to an access
to an invalid array index. Additionally, the later
check for scan_band >= IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS is not
required since that will never be true.

This also improves the comments related to that code.
