Please don't top post.
[Pawar, Amit] Thank you and will take care. Please check inline comments.

You have

if (i.tm.cpu_flags.bitfield.cpumwaitx && i.operands > 0)
  {
....
  }
[Pawar, Amit] This condition was included to handle mwaitx cpu instructions with more than zero 
operands and skips for zero operands.

If i.operands == 0, you won't reach
>[Pawar, Amit] Zero operands instruction are allowed but should not enter here as it will get 
handled by normal code.

if (i.operands != 3)
  abort ();
[Pawar, Amit] Will throw error for zero operand instructions, as this is inside if case and which is 
not required here.

Am I missing something?
[Pawar, Amit] Please let me know if you need any more information.
