The check for sctx is indeed missing but in the else branch the
condition is inside the for loop:

  for (i = 0; sctx && i < clone_sources_to_rollback; i++) {

It would be better to place it there for consistency.

Overall in the function many of the sctx checks can be removed if the
allocation is moved to the beginning.
