[llvm] [Vectorize] Update comment of getSubdividedVectorType (PR #107632)

[via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/Sterling-Augustine created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/107632

The original comment here is wrong, as demonstrated by the included test.

Update the comment to reflect what getSubdividedVectorType actually does.
