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".

+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
which appears in the changelog.

+Special note to back-porters: It seems to be a common and useful practice
to insert an indication of the origin of a patch at the top of the commit
message (just after the subject line) to facilitate tracking. For instance,
