[PATCH net] net: skbuff: reject zero MPLS TTL before decrementing

skb_mpls_dec_ttl() decrements the u8 TTL before checking whether it
expired. An incoming TTL of zero wraps to 255, causing the TC MPLS
dec_ttl action to pass an expired packet instead of dropping it.

Reject a zero TTL before the decrement while preserving the existing
behavior for TTL one and valid TTL values.
