    cr_canseeothergids(): Make the logic easier to grasp
    
    Invert the initial test on whether the policy is in force so that, if
    there are no restrictions, the function bails out early, allowing to
    de-indent the rest of the code and have it finish with a non-zero (deny)
    'return'.
    
    No functional change (intended).
