check_smtp: Remove a comment regarding MAIL FROM

Earlier versions of check_smtp generated an (invalid) "MAIL FROM"
command without arguments by default.  These days, a "MAIL FROM" command
is only sent if the --from option is specified.

This commit removes a comment which explains the old behaviour, and it
updates a variable name accordingly.
