Given a linked list of N nodes .. 

 

Given a linked list of N nodes such that it may contain a loop.
A loop here means that the last node of the link list is connected
to the node at position X(1-based index). If the link list does not
have any loop, X=0.
Remove the loop from the linked list, if it is present, i.e. unlink
the last node which is forming the loop.
Example 1:
Input:
N = 3
value[] = {1,3,4}
X = 2
Output: 1
Explanation: The link list looks like
1 -> 3 -> 4
A loop is present. If you remove it
successfully, the answer will be 1.
