From: Yuanzheng Song <songyuanzheng@xxxxxxxxxx> 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.
