Waiting for reshape progress is done by using select() on sync_completed to block until an exception condition is signalled on the filedescriptor. This happens when the attribute's value is updated by the kernel, but if the array is stopped when mdadm is blocked on select() this will never happen, because this attribute is then removed and apparently the kernel doesn't do sysfs_notify() when removing a sysfs attribute. So set a 3 second timeout for the sysfs_wait() call.
