Coverity complains that checking for domain->def being non NULL in the if (live) path of virDomainObjAssignDef() would be unnecessary or a NULL deref since the call to virDomainObjIsActive() would already dereference domain->def when checking if the def->id field was != -1. Checked all callers to virDomainObjAssignDef() and each at some point dereferences (vm)->def->{field} prior to calling when live is true.
