Bluetooth: Add clarifying comment for conn->auth_type
When responding to an IO capability request when we're the initiators of the pairing we will not yet have the remote IO capability information. Since the conn->auth_type variable is treated as an "absolute" requirement instead of a hint of what's needed later in the user confirmation request handler it's important that it doesn't have the MITM bit set if there's any chance that the remote device doesn't have the necessary IO capabilities. This patch adds a clarifying comment so that conn->auth_type is left untouched in this scenario.
