  Hum ... I'm afraid it changes the semantic. If
  virStorageBackendForType fails because def->type is not one of the
  registered type for storage backend.

It seems that def->type is assigned in virStoragePoolDefParseXML() with

   if ((ret->type = virStoragePoolTypeFromString((const char *)type)) <
   0) {

so there we check that the type matches a StoragePoolType but a storage
backend type might be a subset.

  To be safe I would just remove the variable but keep

    if ((virStorageBackendForType(pool->def->type)) == NULL)
        goto cleanup;

checks and exits. Then we are sure to keep the semantic.
