I'm experiencing the same problem with Ubuntu 16.04.5 on OpenVZ (with kernel: 2.6.32-042stab127.2).
The workaround that I found is to edit `/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/sshd.conf` in the following way:
d /run/sshd 0755 root root
Here is the question on askubuntu.com, where my case decribed in more details: https://askubuntu.com/q/1109934/566421
