description:
given two sorted singly list, merge them into one using constant additional space
algorithm:
we will reference the two linked list as list1 and list2 for convenience,
since list1 is sorted,just find the right position for each element in list2,
detailed comments are added to the following code

key points:
1.pay special attention to keep head pointer, which is easily lost,
my solution is to set a flag bool variance, which is linear complexity but somewhat inefficient
perhaps it has potential to improve
2.avoid misorder of pointer
3.special condition: if (p1 == NULL) return p2;
if(p2 == NULL ) return p1;
4.when search for the postion for a certain element in list1, note that it might be above any element in list1 so tmpp1 might reach its end(value equals NULL) during search
