A few nitpicks ... :

I would probably have made this

  static inline int do_tkill(int tgid, int pid, int sig)


[snip]

Why all the extra parenthesis?

   if (p && (tgid <= 0 || p->tgid == tgid)) {


[snip]
> +       return (do_tkill(tgid, pid, sig));

return is not a function

   return do_tkill(tgid, pid, sig);

[snip]
> +       return (do_tkill(0, pid, sig));

again, get rid of the pointless extra parens

   return do_tkill(0, pid, sig);
