generators: skip private tmpfs if /tmp does not exist

When spawning generators within a sandbox we want a private /tmp, but it
might not exist, and on some systems we might be unable to create it
because users want a BTRFS subvolume instead.

Fixes systemd/systemd#27436

(cherry picked from commit b8fba0c)
