Problem Statement: Given a binary perform an inorder traversal using Morris Inorder
traversal algorithm. (Iterative version of Inorder traversal of tree)

"""
Function for inorder traversal using morris inorder traversal.

Algorithm :
------------
First set current node as root node.

while current node is not empty
If the current node has no left child.
print the current node.
point the current node to its right child

else.
find predecssor node of the current node.
if predecessor has no right child,
make the current node as the right child of the predecessor node.
point current node to its left child.
else,
remove the link of the right child of predecessor node.
print the current node
point the current node to its right child.

Returns:
--------
A list of integers representing the inorder traversal.
