Yuanzheng Song 3e7ee4dd1e tools/vm/slabinfo: use alphabetic order when two values are equal
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.
