There is no need to create a new frame, since the other frame exists in my case,
but if pop-to-buffer raises that automatically then it's understandable why
it comes to the foreground.

A possible solution for this can be checking if pop-to-buffer is called interactively
by the user. If so then it calls select-frame-set-input-focus like now, if not
then it calls select-frame instead.
