It is the kernel swapping thread, which means due to not enough main memory it is swapping out memory to storage, which is way slower so it bogs down your mobile.

You can't do much about kswap itself (short of hacking the Linux kernel), you should see whether you can terminate memory-hungry processes or do other optimizations so your mobile takes less memory to run.
