LeetCode - 142. Linked List Cycle II

Given a linked list, return the node where the cycle begins. If there is no cycle, return null .

Note: Do not modify the linked list.

Can you solve it without using extra space?

快慢指针，参考 LeetCode - 141. Linked List Cycle

先判断是否有环，记录第一次相遇位置，然后快指针指向head指针，同步走，再次相遇时的节点即为环的入口。
