Someone else will chip in what to do, but this doesn't seem alarming at all. Reshapes stuck at zero is a recent bug, but all the data is probably safe and sound. Wait for one of the experts to chip in what to do, but you might find mdadm --resume --invalid-backup will get it going again. Otherwise it's likely to be an "upgrade your kernel and mdadm" job ...
