fix: prefer status-mem over status-freemem for VM memory calculation

Browse source 
Proxmox's FreeMem field reports free memory relative to the balloon's
guest-visible total (total_mem), not relative to MaxMem. When ballooning
is active and the VM's memory has been reduced, subtracting FreeMem from
MaxMem produces wildly inflated usage (e.g. 97% when actual usage is 20%).

Proxmox's Mem field is already calculated as (total_mem - free_mem),
giving the correct used bytes regardless of balloon state. Swap the
priority so Mem is checked before FreeMem.
