[Bug 1637024] [NEW] fwupd consuming very high cpu after startup/login

[Adam Colligan]

Public bug reported:

I believe this may be a regression (relapse of Bug #1591868 ).  I
upgraded to yakkety the other day without major incident and have all
"updates" checked in the Software and Sources GUI. But after booting and
logging in just now, I see fwupd consuming two full cores without letup.

In kern.log I see this line:
