Usually treegen.clean is called after a test by g.after_all function
or an equivalent. In some rare cases internal helpers use their own
treegen and clean up after themself. In such a case, treegen.clean
would look for an internal list of all directories and find nil. This
causes an error in ipairs iteration in internal logic and fails the
whole test.

This patch adds minor durability improvement for such a case. Now if
internal list of all directories is nil (e.g. when treegen.clean was
called beforehand), the function does nothing.
