Fix metric files being wiped after the app starts

When we hit our app with the initial request, in `warmup`,
some metrics already being created as well as corresponding files.
If we do `multiproc_file_dir` cleanup after that, we delete the files
from the dir while keeping them in memory which leads to the incorrect
behavior: the metric is being updated in in-memory, while is not present
in the db, not sent to Prometheus as the result.
