You leak the allocated meta here. Let's move the allocation code after this
second if statement.

You need to set meta->backingStore = NULL here, otherwise...

... the memory block referenced from meta->backingStore may be freed twice
here, once in nextpath and once in meta->backingStore.

Personally, I prefer
    int fd = -1;
    int ret = -1;

Looks like a typo here, it should be
           ret = -1;

To avoid code duplication, this could have been

        ...
    cleanup:
        virStorageFileFreeMetadata(meta);
        return ret;

    error:
        VIR_FORCE_CLOSE(fd);
        goto cleanup;

But it's just one line, so not a big deal (unless the cleanup code is
expanded, in which case it's easier to forgot to update both chunks).

We like having free-like functions to work with NULL arguments, shouldn't we
follow that habit here as well?

On the other hand, if we insist on having ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL, we should say
that in the header file.
