unix: rename XDPUmemReg field back to Size
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When the Linux-specific XDPUmemReg struct was originally added
(CL 136695) the only field with a prefix was chunk_size,
so cgo rewrote the field to Size. Later Linux added a tx_metadata_len
field, which caused cgo to to leave the chunk_size field as Chunk_size
(CL 577975).

However, existing code, specifically gvisor, refers to the field
as Size. So go back to Size so that existing code will continue
to work.

This does unfortunately mean that people who used the struct since CL
577975 in April, 2024 will have to adapt. There doesn't seem to be a
perfect solution here. But we've had Size since September, 2018,
so let's stick with that.
