24: Swap Nodes in Pairs
https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/swap-nodes-in-pairs/

Given a linked list, swap every two adjacent nodes and return its head.

For example,
Given 1->2->3->4, you should return the list as 2->1->4->3.

Your algorithm should use only constant space. You may not modify the values in the list, only nodes itself can be changed.

===Comments by Dabay===
链表的操作。主要就是赋值next的时候,如果这个next本来指向的node还有用,就把它先记录下来。
这里用previous指向要交换的一对node的前面一个node。要交换的node依次为node1和node2。
