Subject: Ticket 49392 - memavailable not available


Bug Description:  On certain linux platforms memAvailable is
not actually available! This means that the value was 0, so
cgroup max was read instead, setting the system ram to:

9223372036854771712

That's a bit excessive, and can cause memory allocations to fail.

Fix Description:  If memavail can't be found, fall back to
memtotal instead.
