 *
 *
 * Given a linked list and a value x, partition it such that all nodes less than x come
 * before nodes greater than or equal to x.
 *
 * You should preserve the original relative order of the nodes in each of the two partitions.
 *
 * For example,
 * Given 1->4->3->2->5->2 and x = 3,
 * return 1->2->2->4->3->5.

     * 将链表中所有小于x的节点排在前面，然后是大于等于x的节点，partition后的链表要按照之前元素的相对顺序排序
     *
     * 将所有大于等于x的节点移除到另外一个链表，剩下的就是小于x的元素，然后将两个链表连接起来
     *
     * 因为链表头也可能被移除（可能变化），所以这里使用一个dummy节点指向原来的头，作为新的头，也就是链表的头
