* lisp/man.el (Man-getpage-in-background): Don't set buffer before display.

Call 'Man-notify-when-ready' before switching the current buffer.
This will avoid possible messing with the current buffer by
'Man-notify-when-ready' where display-buffer functions might change
the current buffer, thus breaking the subsequent setting of buffer-local
variables like Man-arguments in the wrong buffer (bug#71271).
