Description
Docker daemon won't start when daemon.json contains ipv6: true.
The error is:

Error starting daemon: Error initializing network controller: Error creating default "bridge" network: failed to parse pool request for address space "LocalDefault" pool " subpool ": could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv6 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network

It was working just fine before the today's apt-get update.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Add daemon.json to /etc/docker/ with { "ipv6": true }
  2. Restart docker deamon.

Describe the results you received:
Daemon starting fails with error

Error starting daemon: Error initializing network controller: Error creating default "bridge" network: failed to parse pool request for address space "LocalDefault" pool " subpool ": could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv6 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network

Describe the results you expected:
Daemon should start just fine.

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
It worked before the latest update with a bunch of containers running.
