Title:
  fwupd crashed with SIGSEGV in fu_plugin_synapticsmst_enumerate()

Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in fwupd source package in Zesty:
  Fix Released
Status in fwupd source package in Artful:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  On some non Dell systems that contain Synaptics MST hubs, fwupd will crash.
  This affects fwupd 0.8.x in zesty.  In Artful, fwupd will be synced to a newer version from debian experimental (0.9.2-5) which contains this fix already.

  [Test Case]
  1. On a system that was previously crashing fwupd, ensure fwupd starts up correctly.
  2. On a Dell system that previously works properly, ensure it continues to work properly.

  [Regression potential]
  Regression potential is low, this fix only prevents plugins from running where they shouldn't be running in the first place.
