The commit referenced above changed function arguments of
virStorageFileGetMetadataFromBuf() but didn't tweak the
ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL tied to them. This was caught by coverity as it
actually obeys them. We disabled them for GCC and thus it didn't show
up.

Additionally in commit 3ea661deeabadc3c114dfb6f662b9fd17d714a01 I passed
NULL to the backingFormat argument which was also marked as nonnull. Use
a dummy int's address when the argument isn't supplied so that the code
doesn't need to change much.

So if we need to cripple passing NULL, why do we even have ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL? Wouldn't it be simpler if virStorageFileGetMetadataFromBuf would accept NULL?
