Addresses GB-135

The first sentence of 31.8.2 [atomics.types.operations] p.23 was changed by n2992 but now makes no sense: "that is, return `false` while leaving the contents of memory pointed to by `expected` before the operation is the same that same as that of the `object` and the same as that of `expected` after the operation." There's a minor editorial difference between n2992 ("is that same as that" vs "is the same that same as that") but neither version makes sense. Also, the remark talks about "`object`" which should probably be "`object` or `this`" to cover the member functions which have no object parameter.

[ Resolution proposed in ballot comment: ]

Fix the Remark to say whatever was intended.
