Problem 1517. Put m balls into n boxes (again)

According to Cody Problem 1516, if I put 3 balls into 2 boxes then
1 1 1
1 1 2
1 2 2
2 2 2
The columns stand for a ball, the number stands for a box, and the row stands for a case.
Now we count the number of balls in each boxes.
so we get
3 0
2 1
1 2
0 3
the 1-th row stand for the 1-th case,3 balls are put into the first boxes,the others is empty the 2-th row stand for the 2-th case,2 balls are put into the first boxes,1 balls is put into the second boxes
You should write a function, input m and n, m stand for the number of balls ,n stand for the number of boxes,output all the cases.
Example
If m = 3,n = 4, you should output
3 0 0 0
2 1 0 0
2 0 1 0
2 0 0 1
1 2 0 0
1 1 1 0
1 1 0 1
1 0 2 0
1 0 1 1
1 0 0 2
0 3 0 0
0 2 1 0
0 2 0 1
0 1 2 0
0 1 1 1
0 1 0 2
0 0 3 0
0 0 2 1
0 0 1 2
0 0 0 3
