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".
