mpls_xmit() needs to prepend the MPLS-labels to the packet. That implies one needs to make sure there is enough space for it in the headers. Calling skb_cow() implies however that one wants to change even the playload part of the packet (which is not true for MPLS). Thus, call skb_cow_head() instead, which is what other tunnelling protocols do. Running a server with this comm it entirely removed the calls to pskb_expand_head() from the callstack in mpls_xmit() thus having significant CPU-reduction, especially at peak times.
