the following script:
# tc qdisc add dev eth0 clsact
# tc filter add dev eth0 egress matchall action mpls pop
implicitly makes the kernel drop all packets transmitted by eth0, if they
don't have a MPLS header. This behavior is uncommon: other encapsulations
(like VLAN) just let the packet pass unmodified. Since the result of MPLS
'pop' operation would be the same regardless of the presence / absence of
MPLS header(s) in the original packet, we can let skb_mpls_pop() return 0
when dealing with non-MPLS packets.
