Title:
  Compute node reports wrong amount of free memory

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In nova/compute/resource_tracker.py in the definition of the
  _update_usage_from_instances function the amount of free memory
  reported by the hypervisor layer gets overwriten by the amount of
  configured host reserved memory:

  resources['memory_mb_used'] = CONF.reserved_host_memory_mb

  If the compute host uses more memory (not counting the VMs memory
  usage) than the reserved_host_memory, it results in erroneus free
  memory reporting by the compute host and consequently to suboptimal
  scheduling.
