doc: replace "practise" with "practice" in Documentation
To keep the Documentation consistent either "practise" or "practice" should be used. Since there are 3 lines with "practise" ~/linux/Documentation$ grep -r practise * | wc -l 3 and 108 lines with "practice" ~/linux/Documentation$ grep -r practice * | wc -l 108 this patch converts "practise" to "practice".
