TBH, I don't understand the rationale well enough.  What does it mean
we "leak stderr process"? isn't the stderr process recycled if
make-process fails?  Is it just a matter of some simple change in the
control flow, to make sure we always go through the cleanup code
before we return?

In general, I'd prefer not to change timing of what we do in
make-process unless it's really unavoidable.  There's a lot of
system-dependent stuff there, and who knows what will that cause on
some platform?
