Fix wrong CPU metric value in metrics_filter

CPU metrics are reported as a normalized value in [0,1].
When scheduler reads the data as MonitorMetric object, as part
of update_from_compute_node(), the value of the metric gets
lost due to a wrong type conversion, typecasting into an Integer,
reduces it to 0.

Note:
 - It may seem unintuitive that to fix the same, we are not changing
   the type of metric from Integer to Float. Please refer the
   discussions -
   * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/243825/
   * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/216923/
 - To summarize, we are trying to save some 'possible' downstream consumer
   of metrics updates from compute nodes, i.e. consuming from AMPQ, from
   software upgrade scenarios.
