commit 4f5ceb8851f0081af54313abbf56de1615911faf upstream. When the number of partial slabs in each cache is the same (e.g., the value are 0), the results of the `slabinfo -X -N5` and `slabinfo -P -N5` are different. / # slabinfo -X -N5 ...

So let's use alphabetic order when two values are equal in the sort_slabs(). By the way, the content of the `slabinfo -h` is not aligned because the `-P|--partial Sort by number of partial slabs` uses tabs instead of spaces. So let's use spaces instead of tabs to fix it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
