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
...
Slabs sorted by number of partial slabs

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.

README
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.
