Kubeadm: "kubeadm reset" hangs forever intermittently

BUG REPORT:

I see kubeadm version 1.7 hangs forever sometimes at

[reset] Removing kubernetes-managed containers

I am able to reproduce this issue 4 out of 5 times, and had to press CTRL+C to exit.

$ sudo kubeadm reset
sudo: unable to resolve host vhosakot-aci-1-w9c2681796d
[preflight] Running pre-flight checks
[reset] Stopping the kubelet service
[reset] Unmounting mounted directories in "/var/lib/kubelet"
[reset] Removing kubernetes-managed containers
^C  <--- Pressed CTRL+C to exit
$

Restarting docker by doing sudo systemctl restart docker.service resolves this issue and sudo kubeadm reset works fine without issues.

It will be nice if kubeadm reset checks the health of docker when removing kubernetes-managed containers and times out if docker in unhealthy, instead of hanging forever at:

[reset] Removing kubernetes-managed containers
