thanks everyone, I verified setting mem_stats_period_seconds = 0 as
suggested by Corbin in nova.conf libvirt section, and then restarting
openstack-nova-compute service and it works!

While this seems to be a workable workaround I'm not sure what's the plans
to permanently fix this in CentOS7.2? thx will
