pcs has a command for this: pcs resource relocate show|dry-run|run

You're using crm, so maybe this information has no benefit for you 
unless you switch to pcs. It may however help others. Or you can install 
pcs and use it just for the relocation and do everything else with crm. 
That is if you're comfortable with installing pcs just for the sake of a 
single command.

I don't know whether there is a scriptable "wait for idle".

"crm_resource --wait" may be what you are looking for.
