Digging further, looking at /boot/config-3.16.0-4-686-pae we've
noticed that CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is not in there. This means the
debian's kernel cannot handle memory hot plug.
[...]
We enable it for all configurations that also have SPARSEMEM enabled,
which are 64-bit x86, powerpc and s390 plus sh4.
So far as I know, it's not generally useful on i386. No-one runs 32-
bit operating systems on real hardware with memory hotplug, and most VM
managers use ballooning to adjust guest RAM.

Sorry for the wrong test method!
I have tested on Debian 9.0 RC3 64bit, then modified the content of "/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/state" from "offline" to "online" (XX denotes the new added memory files).
The hot-added memory can be seen by command of “free -m” on Debian9.0 RC3 64bit.
This bug is resolved, thanks!
