Good cathc. Besides length zero, this can be more strict: a label is
4B, so mpls_hlen needs to be >= 4B.

Perhaps even aligned to 4B, too, but not if there may be other encap on top.

Unfortunately there is no struct or type definition that we can use a
sizeof instead of open coding the raw constant.
