Don’t load the check page if a job exists already

If a user clicks ‘back’ once they’ve sent a job we don’t want them to
land on the ‘check’ page again. This would suggest that they can send
the same job again (they can’t because that `job_id` is in the database
already). That said, it’s confusing to see that page; the natural thing
is to go jump back another step, to where you uploaded the file.
