[PATCH 16/18] net: mpls: prevent bounds-check bypass via speculative execution

Static analysis reports that 'index' may be a user controlled value that
is used as a data dependency reading 'rt' from the 'platform_label'
array. In order to avoid potential leaks of kernel memory values, block
speculative execution of the instruction stream that could issue further
reads based on an invalid 'rt' value.

Based on an original patch by Elena Reshetova.
