URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/233942

Log:
  MFC r233002, r233003 and r233012:
  
    Remove impossible error condition from the man page.
  
    On FreeBSD, all processes have a process group, so it is impossible for
    kill(2) to fail this way.  POSIX also doesn't mention this error
    condition.
