[Bug 1771394] [NEW] gvfsd-mtp hoovers up all memory

[Bill Miller]

Public bug reported:

When I run a Win7 Virtual Machine and attach my smartphone via USB (to
run Samsung Smart Switch on the VM) gvfsd-mtp sucks up all of my 16G(!)
of RAM and the system becomes unresponsive.

This same workflow worked without issue in 14.04 LTS.

Sorry, 12 G of RAM, not 16. 16 is the system max, I only have 12
installed.
