Solution

open /etc/systemd/system/docker.service in your editor and remove MountFlags=slave from the file:

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2376 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock --storage-driver aufs --tlsverify --tlscacert /etc/docker/ca.pem --tlscert /etc/docker/server.pem --tlskey /etc/docker/server-$
MountFlags=slave
LimitNOFILE=1048576
LimitNPROC=1048576
LimitCORE=infinity
Environment=

...

reload the systemd configuration
systemctl daemon-reload

restart docker
systemctl restart docker

Test again with docker run hello-world which should give you:

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
...
