Title:
  Device can be tricked into exposing mtp service without being unlocked
  first

Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  - Boot your phone up (notice mtp is not accessible)
  - Start to make an emergency call (notice mtp is not accessible)
  - Cancel emergency call and go back to greeter (notice mtp IS accessible)

  That's bad.

  This happens because mtp-server pays attention to the greeter saying
  it's active over DBus.  And the first time it says it's active, mtp-
  server makes itself available.

  I believe the greeter has a bug where it briefly says it's inactive
  when transitioning between emergency dialer and the greeter.  We
  should close that gap (once I confirm it exists).
