Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 7246fe6cd64475d8
("lib/crypto: tests: Add KUnit tests for NH") in v7.0-rc1.

This select means that enabling KUNIT_ALL_TESTS also enables
extra functionality, which may not be desirable in a production system.
Fortunately CRYPTO_LIB_NH is tristate, so in the modular case the
extra functionality is a module, too, and not part of the running
system by default.  Unfortunately CRYPTO_LIB_NH is invisible, so this
cannot just be changed from "select" to "depends on".
