Reported by Coverity static analyzer tool:

in TypeIsInnerPointer(clang::​QualType): Return value of function which returns null is dereferenced without checking

  if (OrigT == T || !T->isPointerType())
     return true;
   //returned_null: getAs returns nullptr (checked 229 out of 237 times). 
   //var_assigned: Assigning: PT = nullptr return value from getAs.
   const PointerType* PT = T->getAs<PointerType>();
      	
   //Dereference null return value (NULL_RETURNS)
   //dereference: Dereferencing a pointer that might be nullptr PT when calling getPointeeType. 
   QualType UPointeeT = PT->getPointeeType().getUnqualifiedType();
   if (UPointeeT->isRecordType()) {
       //returned_null: getAs returns nullptr (checked 279 out of 294 times). 
       //var_assigned: Assigning: RecordTy = nullptr return value from getAs.
      const RecordType *RecordTy = UPointeeT->getAs<RecordType>();
      	
      //Dereference null return value (NULL_RETURNS)
      //dereference: Dereferencing a pointer that might be nullptr RecordTy when calling getDecl. 
      if (!RecordTy->getDecl()->isCompleteDefinition())
         return false;
    }

This patch uses castAs instead of getAs which will assert if the type doesn't match.
