Previously, the hot loop inside otcrypto_aes() would only ever have 2 blocks in flight while the underlying driver function aes_update() as well as the hardware allows up to 3 blocks being in flight:
Doing this is better for SCA hardening (more concurrency means more background noise) and allows achieving higher throughput.
This is related to #20308.
