Even simpler

	} else {
		struct task_struct * p;
		bool success = false;
		int err = -ESRCH;

		for_each_process(p) {
			if (task_pid_vnr(p) > 1 &&
					!same_thread_group(p, current)) {
				err = group_send_sig_info(sig, info, p,
							  PIDTYPE_MAX);
				success |= !err;
			}
		}
		ret = success ? 0 : err;
	}
