Oh yes, this test can be compiled with LOCKDEP=n.

Could you introduce a helper function here?

	#if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
	static inline char* rw_semaphore_lockdep_name(struct rw_semaphore *rwsem)
	{
		return rwsem.dep_map.name;
	}
	#else
	static inline char* rw_semaphore_lockdep_name(struct rw_semaphore *rwsem)
	{
		return NULL;
	}
	#endif

and use it in your test case (you put the function definitio right
before the test case.
