Lucas De Marchi b292873304 AP_InertialSensor: fix starvation in L3G4200D
The main thread would always be blocked on the semaphore to read the
data from accelerometer and gyroscope. Especially if we have a slow
update of these values in _accumulate() due to the I2C transfer function
taking too much time: the timer thread would never give up the CPU,
causing starvation on the main thread.

This fixes the issue by reducing the critical region using a flip-buffer
so _accumulate() can work on its own copy of the data. Now that the
critical region is smaller, also avoid the semaphore and use a spinlock
instead.
