mpls: Add a sysctl to control the size of the mpls label table
This sysctl gives two benefits. By defaulting the table size to 0 mpls even when compiled in and enabled defaults to not forwarding any packets. This prevents unpleasant surprises for users. The other benefit is that as mpls labels are allocated locally a dense table a small dense label table may be used which saves memory and is extremely simple and efficient to implement. This sysctl allows userspace to choose the restrictions on the label table size userspace applications need to cope with. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
