Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward compositional intensifier: 'total' (complete/utter) simply amplifies the noun 'suckhole' (a sycophantic, flattering person), so the overall meaning is directly derivable from the parts. Although colloquial and vulgar in register, its formation and sense are transparent and predictable for a learner who already knows both constituents.
Etymology
Total suckhole is rude slang that gives a clear image: imagine someone who 'sucks up' so much that they are like a suck hole, always praising the boss to get favours. That's why it means a person who flatters others in a fake way to help themselves.
