AP_InertialSensor: fixed Q calculation for notch filters 

when doing the init() we must use the reference frequency, not the
current frequency. Using the current frequency leaves us with an
incorrect value for Q. If the current frequency is below the reference
frequency (which shouldn't happen in 4.5, but has been seen in 4.3)
then the Q can be much too low and massive phase lag can happen.

The vulnerability in 4.5.x is that the current frequency could be well
above the reference frequency. For example, the user may be doing a
motor test at 30s after boot, which is when we stop the
sensors_converging() test, and thus is the last time we call
init(). In that case we can end up with a Q which is much larger than
the one that should come from INS_HNTCH_FREQ and INS_HNTCH_BW, and
thus end up with a filter that produces a lot less attenuation than is
desired, potentially leading to instability due to high noise.

There are other scenarios that can cause this - for example a motor
test of a fwd motor at 30s after boot, or a spurious FFT peak due to
someone knocking the aircraft, or the vibration of a IC engine.
