MdePkg: Update BASE_CR macro in Base.h for a Coverity error

Coverity is a static analysis tool. It detects the macro as an error (case to incompatible type, cert_exp39_c_violation). The update resolves the error and supports compliance with the static analysis tool. Signed-off-by: Phil Noh <[email protected]>
