Have you tried with inheritance disabled?
I don't remember if perf stat has it enabled buy default.

Disabling inheritance using the -i switch as in:

(for i in `seq 1 10`; do numactl --cpunodebind 1 perf stat -i -e instructions ./lat_ctx -P1 -s32k 4; done)

shows numbers closer to baseline, since the threads used for benchmarking are not counting events.

This suggests that:

jump_label_dec(&perf_task_events);

itself doesn't hurt much.
