So, with the patch below 'perf bench sched pipe -l 1000' is back working
for me:

[root@five ~]# perf bench sched pipe -l 1000
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 1000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 0.007 [sec]

7.671000 usecs/op
130361 ops/sec
[root@five ~]#

Now back at testing with with cgroups.
