ImportError: cannot import name 'configure_inline_support_orig' from 'matplotlib_inline.backend_inline'

After upgrading to ipython 7.23 we see this error when running our notebooks with papermill:

Exception encountered at "In [13]":

I think https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/12940/files might fix this.
