dbus-daemon transports messages. If it's using a lot of CPU time, it
is likely to be a bug in whatever process is causing those messages.

According to the clock_gettime() calls, your strace log took less than
0.2 seconds to record. During that time, two separate instances of
"/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gdu-volume-mo" connected to the system bus and
communicated with what looks like udisks.

Please check whether gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor is crashing and
restarting repeatedly, and whether udisks is misbehaving. I suspect
that the high CPU usage from dbus-daemon is a side-effect of something
wrong with one of those packages.

This is most likely a (known) gvfs bug.
It most often happens with a shared /home (e.g. when using NFS), i.e.
multiple gvfs instances trying to write to the same files.
