commit 4f5ceb8851 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
...

This problem is caused by the sort_slabs(). 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.
