/** @brief Spinmutex class.

   The most lightweight synchronisation object is the Spinlock. It is
   usually implemented with a status variable that can be set to Locked
   and Unlocked and atomic operations to change and inspect the status.
   When Spinlock::lock is called, the status is changed to Locked.
   Subsequent calls of Spinlock::lock from other threads will block until
   the first thread has called Spinlock::unlock and the state of
   the Spinlock has changed to Unlocked. Note that Spinlocks are not recursive.
   When a Spinlock::lock blocks a busy-wait happens, therefore a Spinlock is only
   usable in cases where resources need to be locked for a very short time, but in
   these cases a higher performance can be achieved.
