So, it's not about setting evsel->priv to 'struct perf_evsel_script', but
it's about setting proper output stream, either file or stdout. When
'struct perf_evsel_script' was not introduced, we were setting evsel->priv
to output stream. So I think, this commit missed to set evsel->priv properly
in pipped case. Ex, below patch applied _directly_ on top of a14390fde64e
fixes the issue.

To me this commit seems to be the bad. Please let me know if that is not
the case. I'll change the last patch as you suggested an post v2 soon.
Thanks,
Ravi
