perf bench: Fix bench/sched-pipe.c to wait for child process

Ingo reported this small 'perf bench sched pipe' output problem:

| $ ./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.
