+Note: Try to solve this task in O(list size) time using O(1) additional space, since this is what you'll be asked during an interview.
+
+Given a singly linked list of integers l and a non-negative integer n,
+move the last n list nodes to the beginning of the linked list.
+
+Example
+
+For l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and n = 3, the output should be
+rearrangeLastN(l, n) = [3, 4, 5, 1, 2];
+For l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] and n = 1, the output should be
+rearrangeLastN(l, n) = [7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
+Input/Output
+
+[time limit] 4000ms (rb)
+[input] linkedlist.integer l
+
+A singly linked list of integers.
+
+Guaranteed constraints:
+0 ≤ list size ≤ 105,
+-1000 ≤ element value ≤ 1000.
+
+[input] integer n
+
+A non-negative integer.
+
+Guaranteed constraints:
+0 ≤ n ≤ list size.
+
+[output] linkedlist.integer
+
+Return l with the n last elements moved to the beginning.
