Coverity points out that the "d &&" is redundant.

... dom_cow is not NULL (in which case the new expression is wrong
when d also is). I actually think Coverity has spotted the issue
when dom_cow is #define-d to NULL, in which case the original
expression degenerates to "d && !d".
If the purpose of the extra check is more obvious that way, we
could check dom_cow to be non-NULL (instead of d), but I'm afraid
this may not silence Coverity.
