We already take care to perform some type narrowing for arg_type and
ret_type, but not in a way where mypy can utilize the result once we add
type hints, e.g.:

qapi/schema.py:833: error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression
has type "QAPISchemaType", variable has type
"Optional[QAPISchemaObjectType]") [assignment]

qapi/schema.py:893: error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression
has type "QAPISchemaType", variable has type
"Optional[QAPISchemaObjectType]") [assignment]

A simple change to use a temporary variable helps the medicine go down.
