scripts/checkpatch.pl: Upgrade IS_ENABLED_CONFIG to error for U-Boot
A problem we have today is that some instances of IS_ENABLED(FOO) have
crept in to the code. This is in turn because with checkpatch.pl this is
only a warning and not an error, so they were overlooked. And looking
deeper, in the Linux kernel this pattern is allowed because
IS_ENABLED(DEFINED_FLAG) is allowed if discouraged and a quick skim of
the instances I saw in the current kernel follow this pattern. In U-Boot
however, this is not allowed, so bump to an error.

earlier, sorry. But it's easy to not undo this change, so barring other
comments I'll just fix that when applying.
Thanks for doing the resync!
