How can this function crash? pci_disable_msix() will have checks for
already disabled msix, kfree can properly deal with NULL pointer.
Do you have stack trace of the crash here?

Have you considered fast return option? like

if (!octep_disable_msix)
	return;

It will make less intendation and less changes in LoC but will presume
the same behavior.
