doc: replace "practise" with "practice" in Documentation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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".

This practice is particularly helpful if you maintain a stable branch and
want at the same time to credit the author, track changes, merge the fix,
and protect the submitter from complaints. Note that under no circumstances
can you change the author's identity (the From header), as it is the one
