Would be good to document an example here and how to handle a label
stack. The same example can be used with the iproute2 patch (I presume
this one ;-)).

core MPLS code (nla_get_labels) checks for MPLS_LABEL_IMPLNULL as well.

would be better to call out '!tb[TCA_MPLS_PROTO]' with its own 'Protocol
must be set given for pop' message.
