This doesn't seem like a good idea unless the application supports the
"Node 0" prefix in /proc/meminfo.

If any application really cares about the amount of memory available to
it, it should be taught to be memcg aware. Then do something like

cat $(grep memory /proc/mounts | cut -d " " -f 2)/$(grep memory /proc/self/cgroup | cut -d : -f 3)/memory.limit_in_bytes

but since that value can change all the time then it doesn't seem helpful
unless we have a userspace notifier.
