143. Reorder List - Medium

Given a singly linked list L: L0→L1→…→Ln-1→Ln,
reorder it to: L0→Ln→L1→Ln-1→L2→Ln-2→…

You may not modify the values in the list's nodes, only nodes itself may be changed.

Example 1:

Given 1->2->3->4, reorder it to 1->4->2->3.

Example 2:

Given 1->2->3->4->5, reorder it to 1->5->2->4->3.

注意合并两个linked list时候的处理

time: O(n), space: O(1)
