It seems not a simple cleanup. If you move the `serverAlias` definition into
the loop, it means everytime entering into loop, the `serverAlias` will be
`null`. But the previous code can keep the `serverAlias` value to the next
iteration. So the meaning of the code has been changed. I don't know which
meanings is right because I don't have a deep understanding of SSL now.
