Hmm.... I think it just took a very long time to run.
Mark this bug to triaged, will be a won't fix is there is no such problem.

It is due to the efi_runtime driver brings the user space to the firmware, and has fixed in the fwts V14.05.00,
Please help to update it to fwts V14.05.00 on stable ppa,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:firmware-testing-team/ppa-fwts-stable

sudo apt-get install fwts
