Secondary axis does not show minor ticks. #14443

Bug report

Bug summary

Matplotlib 3.1 introduced a new method for adding a secondary axes with Axes.axes.secondary_xaxis and Axes.axes.secondary_xaxis. However, the .minorticks_on() method does nothing on those axes.

Code for reproduction

I use the example provided in the gallery -- https://matplotlib.org/3.1.0/gallery/subplots_axes_and_figures/secondary_axis.html -- but modify it to show minor ticks.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

fig, ax = plt.subplots(constrained_layout=True)
x = np.arange(0, 360, 1)
y = np.sin(2 * x * np.pi / 180)
ax.plot(x, y)
ax.set_xlabel('angle [degrees]')
ax.set_ylabel('signal')
ax.set_title('Sine wave')

def deg2rad(x):
    return x * np.pi / 180

def rad2deg(x):
    return x * 180 / np.pi

secax = ax.secondary_xaxis('top', functions=(deg2rad, rad2deg))
secax.set_xlabel('angle [rad]')

ax.minorticks_on()
secax.minorticks_on()

plt.show()

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

The top axis is expected to have minor ticks.

    #14447 fixes this, though it will (somewhat unexpectedly) get reset if you change the parent scale.
