I'm not saying you should change this; but something like:

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
# define __RWSEM_SMP_INIT(name)	, .owner = NULL, .osq = NULL
#else
# define __RWSEM_SMP_INIT(name)
#endif

#define __RWSEM_INITIALIZER(name)	{			\
	.count = RWSEM_UNLOCKED_VALUE,				\
	.wait_lock = __RAW_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(name.wait_lock),	\
	.wait_list = LIST_HEAD_INIT(name.wait_list)		\
	__RWSEM_SMP_INIT(name)					\
	__RWSEM_DEP_MAP_INIT(name)				\
}

might be more readable in general.
