maintain two pointer

1) slow pointer : it will point to next node for each iteration (ie
node=node->next)
2) fast pointer : it will point to two ahead node for each iteration ( ie
node=node->next->next)

when fast pointer reaches the end of linked list (NULL), slow pionter will
point to middle of the linked list
