Sorry, I haven't found any special attention on
sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure == 0 case or scale
nr_to_scan in fs/dcache.c

 900static int shrink_dcache_memory(int nr, gfp_t gfp_mask)
 901{
 902        if (nr) {
 903                if (!(gfp_mask & __GFP_FS))
 904                        return -1;
 905                prune_dcache(nr);
 906        }
 907        return (dentry_stat.nr_unused / 100) * sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure;
 908}
