Distribute Coins

A
"""
Author  : Alexander Pantyukhin
Date    : November 7, 2022

Task:
You are given a tree root of a binary tree with n nodes, where each node has
node.data coins. There are exactly n coins in whole tree.

In one move, we may choose two adjacent nodes and move one coin from one node
to another. A move may be from parent to child, or from child to parent.

Return the minimum number of moves required to make every node have exactly one coin.

Example 1:

   3
  / \
 0   0

Result: 2

Example 2:

   0
  / \
 3   0

Result 3

Implementation notes:
User depth-first search approach.

Let n is the number of nodes in tree
