Bug Description

While checking the free memory is always racey, we can do better.

We should use the memory overhead estimates introduced here:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/35380

This should let us spot when a scheduler has incorrect placed a VM request on host much earlier, so reduce the time penalty of a re-schedule.
