OK - will fix this for cifs.   Looks like ecryptfs chose "depends on CRYPTO"
and ubifs chose "select CRYPTO" - but for network file system seems like
"select CRYPTO" (rather than depends on) makes more sense.

The ceph file system seems like it has the same type of problem.
fs/ceph/Kconfig
has "select CRYPTO_AES" but not "select CRYPTO"
