That's a bug in my patchset.
I don't test with all options with `M` settings since I can't boot to qemu with all `M` settings.

Could we move the cbc and ecb from `aes-riscv64-zvkned` to `aes-block-riscv64` instead of merging
these two modules?
Thus, we could still enable the single aes block cipher without other extensions(e.g. zvbb or zvkg).
