TCP_LINGERTIME can be traced back to BSD 4.4 Lite and perhaps beyond, in exactly the same form that it appears here modulo slightly different context. It used to be the case that there was a single pr_usrreq method with requests dispatched to it; these exact two lines appeared in tcp_usrreq's PRU_ATTACH handling. The only purpose of this that I can find is to cause surprising behavior on accepted connections. Newly-created sockets will never hit these paths as one cannot set SO_LINGER prior to socket(2). If SO_LINGER is set on a listening socket and inherited, one would expect the timeout to be inherited rather than changed arbitrarily like this -- noting that SO_LINGER is nonsense on a listening socket beyond inheritance, since they cannot be 'connected' by definition. Neither Illumos nor Linux reset the timer like this based on testing and inspection of Illumos, and testing of Linux.
