[PATCH 1/2] mm/slub: Fix cmp_loc_by_count() to return 0 when counts are equal

[Kuan-Wei Chiu <visitorckw@gmail.com>]

The comparison function cmp_loc_by_count() used for sorting stack trace
locations in debugfs currently returns -1 if a->count > b->count and 1
otherwise. This breaks the antisymmetry property required by sort(),
because when two counts are equal, both cmp(a, b) and cmp(b, a) return
1.

This can lead to undefined or incorrect ordering results. Fix it by
explicitly returning 0 when the counts are equal, ensuring that the
comparison function follows the expected mathematical properties.
