114. Flatten Binary Tree to Linked List

Given a binary tree, flatten it to a linked list in-place.

For example, given the following tree:

    1
   / \
  2   5
 / \   \
3   4   6

The flattened tree should look like:

1
 \
  2
   \
    3
     \
      4
       \
        5
         \
          6

难度：medium

题目：给定二叉树，原地扁平化。

思路：后序遍历
