Use k-way merging +1.

1. Before the merging start, sorting these lists according to the
first element of each list.  // O(k log k)
2. So the first element in the first list is the smallest element. Put
the smallest into the result array. // O(1)
3. Then, using binary search to find the new position of the first
list  // O(k)
4. These lists are still sorted, so the first element in the first
list is still smallest. Just repeat the step 2, 3 n times.
