non-existing directories don't need to be cleaned

Trying to clean up directories which do not exist seems rather silly if
you think about it, so let apt think about it and stop it.

Depends a bit on the caller if this is fixing anything for them as they
might try to acquire a lock or doing other clever things as apt does.
