Bug summary

Adding a clabel to a contour plot of a subfigure results in a traceback.

Code for reproduction

# Taken from the Contour Demo example
delta = 0.025
x = np.arange(-3.0, 3.0, delta)
y = np.arange(-2.0, 2.0, delta)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
Z1 = np.exp(-(X**2) - Y**2)
Z2 = np.exp(-((X - 1) ** 2) - (Y - 1) ** 2)
Z = (Z1 - Z2) * 2

fig = plt.figure()
figs = fig.subfigures(nrows=1, ncols=2)

for f in figs:
    ax = f.subplots()
    CS = ax.contour(X, Y, Z)
    ax.clabel(CS, inline=True, fontsize=10)
    ax.set_title("Simplest default with labels")

plt.show()

Actual outcome

    ax.clabel(CS, inline=True, fontsize=10)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/matplotlib/axes/_axes.py", line 6335, in clabel
    return CS.clabel(levels, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/matplotlib/contour.py", line 235, in clabel
    self.labels(inline, inline_spacing)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/matplotlib/contour.py", line 582, in labels
    lw = self._get_nth_label_width(idx)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/matplotlib/contour.py", line 285, in _get_nth_label_width
    .get_window_extent(mpl.tight_layout.get_renderer(fig)).width)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/matplotlib/tight_layout.py", line 206, in get_renderer
    if fig._cachedRenderer:
AttributeError: 'SubFigure' object has no attribute '_cachedRenderer'

Expected outcome

The two subfigures appearing side by side, each showing the Contour Demo example
