mpls: Do not orphan the skb

We observed that TCP-pacing was falling back to the TCP-layer pacing
instead of utilizing sch_fq for the pacing. This causes significant
CPU-usage due to the hrtimer running on a per-TCP-connection basis.

The issue is that mpls_xmit() calls skb_orphan() and thus sets
skb->sk to NULL. Which implies that many of the goodies of TCP won't
work. Pacing falls back to TCP-layer pacing. TCP Small Queues does not
work, ...

It is safe to remove this call to skb_orphan() in mpls_xmit() as there
really is not reason for it to be there. It appears that this call to
skb_orphan comes from the very initial implementation of MPLS.
