LeetCode—Intersection of Two Linked Lists 找两个链表的相交位置，让长的链表先走一段

Write a program to find the node at which the intersection of two singly linked lists begins.

For example, the following two linked lists:

A:          a1 → a2
                   ↘
                     c1 → c2 → c3
                   ↗            
B:     b1 → b2 → b3

begin to intersect at node c1.

Notes:

• If the two linked lists have no intersection at all, return null.
• The linked lists must retain their original structure after the function returns.
• You may assume there are no cycles anywhere in the entire linked structure.
• Your code should preferably run in O(n) time and use only O(1) memory. 只能够是O（n）的时间复杂度，这里的做法是首先遍历两个链表知道长度，然后让长的链表先走一段，然后再进行两两比较，时间复杂度O（lengthA+lengthB+maxLength）就是O（n）
