[PATCH] perf bench: Fix bench/sched-pipe.c to wait child process
From: Hitoshi Mitake
Date:  Sun Nov 08 2009 - 22:31:21 EST
Fixed bench/sched-pipe.c to avoid the below case
notified by Ingo Molnar,
---
$ ./perf bench sched pipe
(executing 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks)
	Total time:4.898 sec
$ 		4.898586 usecs/op
		204140 ops/sec
the shell prompt came back before the usecs/op and ops/sec line was
printed. Process teardown race, lack of wait() or so?
---
This caused by lack of calling waitpid() by parent process,
so I added it.
