[m-rev.] diff: fix murlibobo test failures

[Simon Taylor]

Estimated hours taken: 3

tests/Mmake.common:
	Fix a problem with parallel make where test directories were
	not being cleaned up properly after failures because too many
	processes were being created by the `mmake -j10 realclean_local'
	in each directory, exceeding the per-user process limit. This
	caused spurious test failures on murlibobo.
