Description of problem:
There seems to be a race condition when running `docker exec` right after `docker run`. This can
be particularly seen with `dnf`. Interestingly enough I can reproduce it only with Fedora's Docker
version, the Community Edition works as expected.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q docker
docker-1.13.1-62.git9cb56fd.fc29.x86_64
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 30 (Rawhide)
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
## Docker from Fedora repositories
# dnf -y install docker
# systemctl start docker
# docker pull fedora:rawhide
# docker run -dit --privileged=true --name test fedora:rawhide /sbin/init && docker exec -it test dnf makecache

## However, adding a slight delay between `docker run` and `docker exec` (here `sleep 1`) fixes this issue
# docker run -dit --privileged=true --name test fedora:rawhide /sbin/init && sleep 1 && docker exec -it test dnf makecache

## The Community Edition works without any additional delay

# dnf -y install --releasever 28 docker-ce
# rpm -q docker-ce

Am I missing something fundamental here or is this really an unexpected behavior?
