The control plane can advertise labels for neighbours that don't have
an outgoing label. RFC 3032 s3.22 states that either the remaining
labels should be popped (if the control plane can determine that it's
safe to do so, which in light of MPLS-VPN, RFC 4364, is never the case
now) or that the packet should be discarded.

Therefore, if the peer is unlabeled and the last label wasn't popped
then drop the packet. The peer being unlabeled is signalled by an
empty label stack. However, implicit-null still needs to be supported
(i.e. penultimate hop popping) where the incoming label is popped and
no labels are put on and the packet can still go out labeled with the
unpopped part of the stack. This is achieved by the control plane
specifying a label stack consisting of the single special
implicit-null value.
