Title:
  Ram filter is broken since Mitaka

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) mitaka series:
  Confirmed
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) newton series:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This patch that was backported to Mitaka made the assumption that free_ram_mb can never be less than 0.
  https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/016b810f675b20e8ce78f4c82dc9c679c0162b7a

  free_ram_mb can be negative when the ram_allocation_ratio is set higher than one. This is also supported by the following comment in the code for the resource tracker.
  > # free ram and disk may be negative, depending on policy:

  This breaks any Scheduler filter that supports oversubcribe (e.g. memory or disk), as an example see this unit-test for the ram filter.
