That would seem to be a great shortcoming in fscache. I guess as memory reclaim reaps the top-level dentries those file*'s will also be freed up, leading to their dentries becoming reclaimable, leading to their inodes being reclaimable. But still. Is it not possible to release those files-pinned-by-dcache when the top-level files are closed?
