Hmm are all the warning the same? Is this just on arm? have you seen it
in other archs? (Could you please send me the .config)

If CONFIG_SMP, we add two new fields to the rwsem structure
(include/linux/rwsem.h) and likewise we update the
__RWSEM_INITIALIZER(name) macro. Afaict the only way to trigger
something like that is to be using the spinlock variant
(rwsem-spinlock.h).

The fix for that would be:

diff --git a/include/linux/rwsem.h b/include/linux/rwsem.h
index 3e108f1..091d993 100644
--- a/include/linux/rwsem.h

This was picked up today by -tip maintainers, so I guess it should also
be removed from -mm.

Thanks,
