Subject: [PATCH 5.19 139/365] tools/vm/slabinfo: use alphabetic order when two values are equal

From: Yuanzheng Song <songyuanzheng@...wei.com>

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

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.
