I also have the same issue. By killing fwupd I was able to temporarily
stop the CPU usage. Manually restarting does not cause CPU usage to
spike up again. Attached is the output of fwupd after manually
restarting with,
> sudo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fwupd/fwupd -v
Here's my system info,
> sudo dmidecode | grep 'System Information' --after-context=10

Title:
fwupd is consuming 100% of CPU in an upto date Ubuntu 16.04
Status in appstream-glib package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Even though this bug is reported
[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream-
glib/+bug/1591868] and marked as fixed, I am having the same issue on
a up to date Ubuntu 16.04 system (as you can see in the attachment).
Rebooting doesn't fix the problem.
Thanks.
