perf diff shows 0.43% increase in sched_clock, and 0.98% decrease in
pipe_unlock. the complete output is attached.

I have tested three times for base and +patch,cgroup not enabled
repectively (each time reboot, drop_caches then perf). the data
seems stable comparing to those in the table above, see below:
