[ops] [nova] Wrong reported memory hypervisor usage

Thanks for the prompt feedback.

This [*] is the output of  "openstack hypervisor show
cld-blu-01.cloud.pd.infn.it"

Let me also add that if I restart openstack-nova-compute on the hypervisor,
then "nova host-describe" shows the right information for a few seconds:


[root at cld-ctrl-01 ~]# nova host-describe cld-blu-01.cloud.pd.infn.it
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------+-----+-----------+---------+
| HOST                        | PROJECT                          | cpu |

+-----------------------------+----------------------------------+-----+-----------+---------+


but after a while it goes back publishing 16256 MB as used_now

Thanks, Massimo
