Upgrade assistant fails to reindex closed index

Describe the bug: The upgrade assistant correctly identifies the need to upgrade an index created in 5.6.16, despite this index being closed, and offers to reindex it. However the reindex process fails because the index is closed

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create an index in 5.6.16 and close it.
2. Upgrade to 6.8.0.
3. Open the upgrade assistant to prepare the cluster for an upgrade to 7.x
4. Use the reindex button to reindex the old closed index.

Expected behavior:

I expected either that the UI would indicate sooner that a reindex of a closed index was not possible, or else that the reindex process would open the index beforehand and close it afterwards.

Screenshots (if relevant):

Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant):
