897. Increasing Order Search Tree - Easy

Given a tree, rearrange the tree in in-order so that the leftmost node in the tree is now the root of the tree, and every node has no left child and only 1 right child.

Example 1:
Input: [5,3,6,2,4,null,8,1,null,null,null,7,9]

       5
      / \
    3    6
   / \    \
  2   4    8
 /        / \ 
1        7   9

Output: [1,null,2,null,3,null,4,null,5,null,6,null,7,null,8,null,9]

               8
                \
                 9  

Note:

1. The number of nodes in the given tree will be between 1 and 100.
2. Each node will have a unique integer value from 0 to 1000.
