You forgot the -k option before the version.
Otherwise, you can directly probe the file :

modinfo /lib/modules/4.12.0-1-amd64/kernel/crypto/xts.ko

So the ecb module is not included.
Can you check that the 4.12 kernel has an ecb module ?

ls /lib/modules/4.12.0-1-amd64/kernel/crypto/

As a workaround, my idea is to force inclusion of the ecb module in the 
initramfs by listing it in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and rebuilding 
the initramfs with

update-initramfs -u -k 4.12.0-1-amd64
