In SecondaryAxis.set_functions, reuse _set_scale's parent scale caching.

anntzer · anntzer · commit 0e1f13b08809 · 2019-06-21T00:36:03.000+02:00
_set_scale checks whether the parent scale changed before modifying the
secondary scale.  set_functions should do the same.  See added test for
previously failing case.
