Don't leave zombie processes if dmenu call fails

Browse Source 
If dmenu didn't return anything we returned out of the function without
calling `waitpid` to collect the childs exit code, leaving to the child
process to be left as a zombie indefinitely. This commit makes `waitpid`
be called before the return checks are done.
