CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is currently a type int but is only used as a boolean
equivalent to !CONFIG_BASE_FULL.

So, remove it entirely and move every usage to !CONFIG_BASE_FULL.

In addition, recent kconfig changes (see the discussion in Closes: tag)
revealed that using:
   config SOMETHING
      default "some value" if X
does not work as expected if X is not of type bool.

CONFIG_BASE_SMALL was used that way in init/Kconfig:
   config LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
   	default 12 if !BASE_SMALL
   	default 0 if BASE_SMALL

Note: This changes CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=12 to
CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=0 for some defconfigs, but that will not be
a big impact due to this code in kernel/printk/printk.c:
   /* by default this will only continue through for large > 64 CPUs */
   if (cpu_extra <= __LOG_BUF_LEN / 2)
           return;

v1 patch was named "treewide: Change CONFIG_BASE_SMALL to bool type"
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240126163032.1613731-1-yoann.congal@xxxxxxxx/

v1 -> v2: Applied Masahiro Yamada's comments (Thanks!):
* Changed from "Change CONFIG_BASE_SMALL to type bool" to
   "Remove it and switch usage to !CONFIG_BASE_FULL"
* Fixed "Fixes:" tag and reference to the mailing list thread.
* Added a note about CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT changing.

Why is the IS_ENABLED() addition needed? You don't say anything about that in the commit log.
